Ferndale, Michigan - When the Detroit Medical Center told Credit Union ONE that they were participating in the American Heart Association 2011 START! Heart Walk and were looking for a sponsor for their t-shirts, Credit Union ONE was pleased to be able to make the commitment for support. 

Established more than seventy years ago, Credit Union ONE has a long history of giving back to the communities in which their members work and live.  

 This year, the Detroit Medical Center had 780 walkers who raised more than $65,000 in donations participate in the event.

"We are proud to have contributed to this very successful event for the Detroit Medical Center," said Gary Moody, president/ceo of Credit Union ONE. 

The Walk, held on May 14, 2011 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan joined thousands of people from across Michigan to walk for a critical cause, the fight against heart disease, the number one killer of men and women in the U.S. 

 Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for over seventy years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 28,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 106,000 members, with nineteen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
