Dow Chemical Employees' Credit Union Supports League Action Fund
July 17, 2015
MIDLAND, MICHIGAN, – Staff members at Dow Chemical Employees’ Credit Union raised $275 for the Michigan Credit Union League Action Fund (MCULAF) through their most recent “Jeans Day for Charity” fundraiser. For each of the one-day fundraisers throughout the year, participating DCECU employees donate a minimum of $5, which entitles them to wear blue jeans, tennis shoes and logoed attire to work that day.The Jeans Day for Charity fundraisers support a variety of charitable and community organizations – typically a different beneficiary each time. However, twice a year staff members donate the money to support MCULAF, which provides opportunities for individuals to contribute to candidates for state office who support the principles of the credit union industry.
“MCULAF’s goal is to promote the credit union philosophy and the benefits of credit unions, as well as promote the well-being of Michigan’s credit unions,” said DCECU President/CEO Dennis Hanson. “We believe it is important to work together to support MCULAF’s goals so we can all continue to enjoy the benefits that credit union membership brings.”
Thus far in 2015, DCECU employees have raised more than $2,000 for charitable and community organizations through regular Jeans Day for Charity fundraisers.
