NAPERVILLE, IL (September 10, 2024) — The annual #ILoveMyCreditUnion campaign once again proved to be a resounding success, demonstrating the power of the credit union movement to come together for a common cause. This year’s campaign saw unprecedented participation from credit unions across the globe, reaching millions and making a significant impact on communities.
The 2024 campaign featured credit union participation from an impressive 15 countries and all 50 U.S. states, with a total of 1080 organizations joining the movement. Through collective efforts, the campaign reached over 4 million people and engaged 500 thousand individuals in celebrating the credit union difference.
A cornerstone of this year’s campaign was the charitable giving component, which contributed a remarkable $20,000 to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Four credit union Leagues were awarded $5,000, courtesy of Envisant, the lucky leagues were: Maine, Indiana, Nebraska, and the California-Nevada.
To encourage participation and amplify the giving spirit, Envisant also generously sponsored selfie station boxes totaling $5,000 that were shipped to 10 winning credit unions nationwide. Credit unions were encouraged to submit their employee engagement strategy to be entered to win. Ten fortunate credit unions were selected to win: PBAFCU, Community Link FCU, VyStar CU, Park Manor Christian Community CU, GFA FCU, South Side Community FCU, New Horizons CU, Santa Clara County FCU, Garden Savings FCU, and GeoVista CU.
