FAIRBORN, Ohio Wright-Patt CU announced the theme of its sixth annual Savings Race will be health and financial fitness, with five families competing to reduce their medical debt by getting both financially and physically fit.
Through the Savings Race, Wright-Patt coaches and advisors work with five teams to create a plan to improve their financial and health outlook. Teams will receive free education and coaching, and participate in special challenges that will teach them how to save better, borrow smarter, and create a healthier lifestyle. Cash prizes are awarded to each of the five teams, including a $10,000 grand prize.
This year’s savings competition will be sponsored by Kettering Health Network, Dayton Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald House, as well as the $2.6-billion credit union.
Past savings contests have focused on college savings and reducing household expenses.
Applications to compete in this year’s eight-month savings contest are being accepted now through Aug. 24. Applications are available at Wright-Patt Credit Union, Kettering Health Network and Dayton Children’s Hospital locations, and online at
