Why 2019 Gave Us A Lot to Celebrate
The numbers are in and 2019 was another amazing year for Credit Unions for Kids. The final fundraising total for 2019 is an astounding $13.5 million!
Credit unions across the U.S. came together in big ways to help kids treated at CMN Hospitals. Below are just a few highlights from 2019:
- The annual Credit Unions for Kids Northwest Classic, hosted by First Tech FCU, raised a record-breaking $1.5 million
- For the 5th year in a row, credit unions raised more than $1 million at the Credit Unions for Kids Wine Auction in Southern California
- NWUCA’s annual gala (a masquerade ball this year) event broke a fundraising record for the event by increasing from $630,000 in 2018 to more than $908,000 in 2019
- CO-OP Financial Services continued the successful Miracle Match Program, now in its thirteenth year. The program provided matches/funds for 106 credit union events, raising a total of almost 3.8 million when combined with the credit union donations, a significant increase over last year
- Twelve emerging credit union leaders joined forces to form Project 2025, a year-long program focused on developing the future of philanthropy in the industry
On behalf of the 10 million kids our hospitals serve each year, thank you!
