MADISON, Wis. — The National CU Foundation hopes credit union employees will "dress down" to support financial education initiatives next month.
NCUF's "Financial Fitness Day" fundraiser is set for April 2 and will kick off National Financial Literacy Month. CUs and trade organizations can hold fundraisers such as jeans or casual-dress days for staff, bake sales for staff or members, or deductions and donations to raise money to support NCUF's financial literacy programming.
"Americans spend months getting their physical health into shape as part of their New Year's resolutions," said Danielle Brown, NCUF director of development and donor relations. "Kicking off National Financial Literacy Month in April, Financial Fitness Day is dedicated to helping members get their financial health in shape. Credit unions are perfectly suited to do so and we hope your organization will hold a fundraiser such as a casual day on April 2nd to support these efforts."
