SALT LAKE CITY Children’s Miracle Network is reminding credit unions across North America to wear jeans in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
The charity raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals. For a $5 donation, credit union employees can “earn” the right to wear jeans and participate in Miracle Jeans Day. For a $25 donation, through Sept. 1, participants also qualify for a Miracle Jeans Day T-shirt. All donations stay local to benefit the member hospital serving that community, the group said.
New to 2013, there is a Credit Unions for Kids version of the Miracle Jeans Day T-shirt. To receive this free T-shirt with a $25 donation, contributions must be received no later than Sept. 1 via phone (801) 214-7452 or online at MiracleJeansDay.com. From Sept. 2 to 12, an additional $10 will be required to cover expedited fees. The absolute final day to qualify for a T-shirt is Sept. 12.
To date, Children’s Miracle Network said more than 1,000 credit unions supporters and employees have purchased these unique Miracle Jeans Day T-shirts.
In 2012, credit unions were the largest supporter of Miracle Jeans Day, with more than 600 unique credit unions participating in the event. Collectively, those credit unions raised more than $300,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
