SALT LAKE CITY–Credit unions are being invited to participate in Shop for Miracles, a one-day Credit Unions for Kids program that will raise funds for local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2015.
Each time credit union members use their credit union-issued credit or debit card on Oct. 15, the participating credit union will donate $0.25 or another pre-determined amount to the local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. Like all Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals donations, funds raised locally will remain in the community to support the hospital’s greatest needs, often including equipment, life-saving research, treatments or charitable care.
Credit unions can register for Shop for Miracles at www.cu4kids.org/shopformiracles. Marketing collateral and other resources to help credit unions promote the campaign to members are also available on the website.
In 2014, 108 credit unions participated in Shop for Miracles, raising $450,000, including $50,000 in matching funds from CO-OP Financial Services’ Miracle Match program. Since 1996, credit unions fundraising under the Credit Unions for Kids brand have raised almost $150 million for local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
