Middletown, Pa. and Greensboro, N.C. (May 18, 2016) – Mid-Atlantic Corporate Federal Credit Union and First Carolina Corporate Credit Union held a competition among their member credit unions to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals. All the money was collected one coin at a time through Credit Unions for Kids’ (CU4Kids) Change a Child’s Life coin collection campaign. Fourteen credit unions from both Mid-Atlantic Corporate and First Carolina Corporate’s memberships participated in the competition, which ran from April 1-30. To raise the money, each credit union was asked to place the signature CU4Kids coin canisters around their branches to collect change from employees and members. The winning credit union would be the one to raise the most money per member. Blue Chip FCU in Harrisburg, Pa., won the competition, raising $237.07 (seven cents per member) for their local CMN Hospital, Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital.
In addition to the change collected by the participating credit unions, Mid-Atlantic Corporate and First Carolina Corporate raised funds internally through the Change a Child’s Life coin collection campaign. In all, the competing credit unions, as well as both corporates, raised a grand total of $5,628.42 for various CMN Hospitals! “With this being the 20th anniversary of CU4Kids, we thought we’d pay homage to the partnership between CU4Kids and CMN Hospitals by collaborating in our own way to raise money for kids in need,” said Erin Doan, administration and community relations director for Mid-Atlantic Corporate. “By coming together, our credit unions have truly demonstrated the mission of ‘people helping people’ and helped to change the lives of young patients in our local children’s hospitals.”
Mid-Atlantic Corporate and First Carolina Corporate would like to thank the following credit unions for their participation and for their support of CU4Kids and CMN Hospitals: Blue Chip FCU Carolinas Telco FCU Century Heritage FCU Charlotte Metro CU Community Regional CU Cornerstone FCU Greensboro Municipal FCU Hershey FCU Lanco FCU New Generations FCU PA Central FCU Shuford FCU Susquehanna Valley FCU Wheatland FCU.
