RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. More than 150 credit unions participating in CO-OP Miracle Match in 2013 raised $3 million for Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals, $1 million of which was matching funds provided under the CO-OP Financial Services program.
"CO-OP Financial Services established CO-OP Miracle Match on behalf of our member credit unions in 2008 as a way to encourage Credit Unions for Kids fundraisers," said Stan Hollen, President/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services. "This marks the third year in a row that the combined totals of CO-OP and participating credit unions surpassed the $3 million mark in donations."
Credit unions interested in applying for match grants in 2014 under the CO-OP Miracle Match program may do so by visiting www.co-opfs.org/miracle-match.
The credit union fundraisers benefited 98 different childrens hospitals in 34 states in 2013. More than 100 fundraisers were first-time events by the sponsoring credit union and nearly half of the participating credit unions about 70 were new to the CO-OP Miracle Match program.
In addition to the $1 million CO-OP Miracle Match program, CO-OP Financial Services made donations totaling $164,500 to CMN Hospitals in 2013. These donations were made through event sponsorships, such as credit union-hosted golf tournaments, and at its own THINK Conference, held last year in Chicago, Ill. CO-OP Financial Services is also enabling an add-on transaction that allows credit union members to make a contribution to CMN Hospitals at ATMs directly "driven" (controlled) by CO-OP for its clients.
