Myrtle Beach, SC – Hundreds of attendees of the South Carolina Credit Union League Annual Meeting pledged their commitment to credit unions and in the process raised $500 for the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation.

CUNA Mutual Group made the donation in honor of the league annual meeting attendees who demonstrated their commitment to credit unions by adding their signature to a “Sign of Commitment.” The display was set up in the exhibit hall on throughout the expo.

“It’s truly amazing to see credit unions help us raise awareness of the commitment and support we all have to this great industry, and how we each help make a difference in members lives,” said Robin Kolvek, Sales Manager for CUNA Mutual.

John Slack, President/CEO of the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation, said these funds and additional support provided by CUNA Mutual will help support the vision of the foundation of making a better tomorrow by helping people help themselves. “We are fortunate to be associated with a cause driven organization like the CUNA Mutual Group.  Their ongoing commitment to the credit union industry is greatly appreciated and will no doubt have a positive effect on many lives,” said John Slack.  

Attendees of the South Carolina Credit Union League Annual Meeting who added their names to the Sign of Commitment were given a wristband to wear as a symbol of their commitment to the credit union movement. Well over 50% of attendees signed the display, which was how the donation amount was determined.
