EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State University Federal Credit Union, which has a partnership with the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum, is offering two free GRCM passes for each new youth account opened at its Grand Rapids location through June 30.
“We understand the value of play as a primary way children learn new skills,” said Deidre Davis, MSUFCU chief marketing officer. “Our youth accounts come with access to free, interactive, educational gaming apps so children and youth can learn financial lessons as they play. The partnership with the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum allows the credit union to both support and promote this great organization.”
In 1997, GRCM opened its doors at 11 Sheldon Ave. NE and hosted more than 30,000 children and their families who experienced hands-on exploration and learning. Today, the museum has multiple exhibits and more than 200,000 visitors annually, the credit union said.
“Having grown up in the Lansing area, I saw firsthand the relationship MSUFCU has with the community,” said Maggie Lancaster, CEO of GRCM. “To see them now extending their civic-focused mission here in Grand Rapids is just thrilling. We are honored to partner with a longstanding, community-minded business that strives to support families, and values the importance and power of play.”
