MADISON, Wis. – CUNA Mutual Group’s traveling online history game netted contributions of nearly $20,000 for the National Credit Union Foundation and state league foundations.
To celebrate CUNA Mutual’s 75 years of commitment to the credit union system in 2010, attendees at 46 credit union conferences and league meetings were invited to play the Heritage Challenge, an online Jeopardy-style game featuring questions about the shared history of CUNA Mutual and the credit union movement. Players earned points by correctly answering questions, with CUNA Mutual donating a penny for each point.
The collective knowledge of credit union professionals playing the game generated donations, which included:
- $6,000 to the National Credit Union Foundation, presented to Bucky Sebastian, executive director and Tom Candell, deputy director.
- A total of $13,825 for 36 credit union league foundations.
"CUNA Mutual's continued support of the Foundation has been vital in allowing us to help consumers reach financial freedom across the country,” said Sebastian. “We are very grateful for their tremendous support of NCUF and the entire credit union movement."
“The Heritage Challenge celebrated the special relationship CUNA Mutual has had with credit unions since 1935,” said Steve Johnson CUNA Mutual’s vice president of marketing and sales strategy. “We continue to focus on the same things that made us different 75 years ago – unparalleled credit union support, service excellence and unique product value and innovation.”
