Summit Credit Union Announces Success with Join the Huddle Campaign
February 10, 2022
Greensboro, NC – February 10, 2022 - Summit Credit Union is pleased to announce the success of their second “Join the Huddle” campaign. During the months of August through December last year, Summit Credit Union set up an online auction for tickets to Carolina Panthers’ regular season home games. Each winning bidder was given the choice among five pre-selected charities for where to donate the funds from their bid. These charities included Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals/Duke Children’s Hospital, Backpack Beginnings, Toys for Tots, and Wounded Warrior Project.
Summit Credit Union also held a “Summit Wears Pink Week” pledge drive in October where staff donated money to wear pink with jeans for the week. Staff raised $700 pledged solely to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
In total, Summit Credit Union raised over $3,600 for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals/Duke Children’s Hospital, and BackPack Beginnings. 100% of pledges and auction proceeds were donated to the four charities in January 2022.
“As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we are always looking to give back to the communities we serve in a unique way. We thank the Carolina Panthers for helping us to bring one of those ways to life. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are pleased with the continued success of our Join the Huddle campaign and look forward to joining the huddle again later this year”, says Sam Whitehurst, President and CEO of Summit Credit Union. “Keep Pounding!”
