Oct. 19 Credit Unions for Kids Campaign Raises Funds for Children's Hospitals Across U.S
SALT LAKE CITY
(September 26) - Credit unions across the United States are invited to celebrate International Credit Union Day, Thursday, October 19, by participating in
Shop for Miracles
, a one-day
Credit Unions for Kids
program that raises funds for local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
To register, credit unions can visit the CU4Kids website

. Marketing collateral and other resources to help credit unions promote the program to members are also available on the website.
Shop for Miracles encourages credit unions to pledge a donation to their local CMN Hospital in honor of their cardholders to help celebrate International Credit Union Day. 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.
