Great Lakes CU Joins With CMN

BANNOCKBURN, Ill.--Great Lakes Credit Union (GLCU) said it has aligned with Credit Unions for Kids (CU4Kids) to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals.   The local CMN Hospital is the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. In early 2014, GLCU established a fundraising goal of $10,000 for the year and recently presented the hospital with a check.  Donations were raised through a number of initiatives that included “Miracle May”, where GLCU branches collected cash donations from members and the public.  Donations were also collected at several Shred Day events throughout the year. In addition, staff participated by donating $5 in exchange for the opportunity to wear jeans to work on designated days. Lastly, GLCU donated $1 for every new account opened throughout 2014.
