Credit Union ONE Prepares for Cares for Kids Radiothon

Ferndale, MI - Credit Union ONE is anxiously awaiting Thursday, May 12, 2011, as they are making plans for the upcoming Children’s Miracle Network Cares for Kids Radiothon at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan.

This is the fourth annual radiothon for Beaumont Children’s Hospital and WDVD 96.3 FM, but the first year for Credit Union ONE to provide a back-up phone bank and participate in the event.

Credit union employees will handle the overflow calls that would otherwise be lost from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. at the Credit Union ONE headquarters in Ferndale, Michigan.

In addition to supporting the phone bank, Credit Union ONE is contributing a Power Hour donation of $4,000 and has applied to the Co-Op Financial Services Miracle Match Program for matching funds.

The purpose of the radiothon is to raise funds to provide life saving equipment, specialized pediatric programs, and charity care to help thousands of kids in metropolitan Detroit.

“We are happy to be able to lend this support to such a worthy cause as the Children’s Miracle Network, and partner with Beaumont Children’s Hospital in their endeavors to raise much needed funds,” said Gary A. Moody, Credit Union ONE President/CEO.

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.
