Money raised in 2015 for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals, by the CO-OP Miracle Match program’s 200 participating credit unions, increased by 39% over the previous record-setting year of 2014.
CO-OP Miracle Match’s goal is to encourage sponsorship of local fundraising events by credit unions, as well as chapters and leagues, to support CMN Hospitals in their area. A total of $4.3m was raised last year, which was made up of $3.3m from the 2015 Credit Unions for Kids fundraisers and further funds via CO-OP Miracle Match of $1m. This comfortably surpassed the total of these two sources in 2014, which was $3.1m.
Matches were provided in 227 fundraisers, and this year featured “new event” fundraisers numbering 105. Participation by 200 credit unions supplied benefits to 98 CMN Hospitals across 39 states. A poster printing service can benefit a wide range of fundraising efforts, including the top individual fundraiser for 2015, which was a golf tournament in Mountain View, California held by First Tech FCU, which raised $760,000.
CO-OP Financial Services was founded in 1981 and is based here in Rancho Cucamonga. It is the country’s biggest credit union service organization in terms of credit unions, members, and assets. The company assists credit unions in supply the products and services that will make doing business with them more straightforward for their members.
