Great Lakes Credit Union Donates $10,000 to Employees 2015 Charities of Choice
Bannockburn (IL) Each year Great Lakes Credit Union (GLCU) is proud to give back to the community and offer help to those who need it most. In 2015, GLCUs employees voted in favor of supporting two charities, On Angels Wings and CU4Kids. Throughout the course of the year, GLCU employees and members raised $10,000 to share with both charities. Monies were raised through GLCUs pledge to contribute $1.00 for each new member who joined the credit union in 2015. Donations were also made by members and employees at branches and community events, such as the Peanuts Movie Benefit Night hosted by the Antioch Theatre.
On Angels Wings is a local no-kill, animal welfare organization whose mission is to provide shelter and foster care, adoption of dogs and cats, supply needy families through their pet food pantry, and animal welfare education.
CU4Kids is a national collaboration of credit unions, chapters, leagues/associations and business partners engaged in fundraising activities to benefit Childrens Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals. The local CMN Hospital is the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Childrens Hospital of Chicago.
GLCU has over 72,000 members and more than $700 million in assets. The credit union is headquartered in Bannockburn, Illinois, and has 14 branches located in Antioch, Bolingbrook, Chicago, Country Club Hills, Crystal Lake, Gurnee, Naperville, North Chicago, Oak Lawn, Round Lake Beach, Waukegan, Woodstock, Willow Springs, and Zion.
With support from GLCU employees and its community, GLCU was honored to present both charities with a check for $5,000.
