Minnesota Credit Union Network President & CEO Mara Humphrey spoke with KARE 11 host Alexis Rogers about celebrating the Credit Union Advantage at the Great Minnesota Get Together.

MN CU Day at the Fair by Julia Miller
There are two opportunities this week to share the credit union advantage and support credit union causes. Tomorrow, July 25 is Miracle Treat Day! $1 or more from every Blizzard® Treat sold at participating DQ® locations will benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Through these donations, our local CMN Hospital, Gillette Children's can fulfill their mission to provide treatments and support patients desperately need today, so that they can fulfill their potential for tomorrow! Credit Unions for Kids is a nonprofit collaboration of credit unions, chapters, leagues & business partners from across the country, engaged in fundraising activities that benefit 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. As our adopted charity of choice, credit unions are the 3rd largest sponsor of CMN Hospitals. Find Participating locations!  This Friday, July 26, the credit union movement will come together to inspire authentic and high-energy conversation about why we love our credit unions under the common hashtag, #ilovemycreditunion.
Here's a quick reminder on how you can make the most of #ILoveMyCreditUnion Day:
Participating in Miracle Treat Day and I Love My Credit Union Day is a fun, high impact way to increase engagement and share the Credit Union Advantage.  The 2024 Minnesota Credit Union Advantage campaign will shift our strategies to a more grassroots effort to engage and share stories about how Minnesota credit unions give Minnesotans an advantage. One of the most important elements of the campaign is storytelling from members about how key products and services helped them in their financial lives.
We need your help to gather these stories! The topic areas we are looking for are as follows:
We want to amplify and highlight these stories in multiple channels that include the Minnesota Financial Advantage podcast presented by MN Credit Unions, as well as streaming audio ads across the state. Our podcast will be featured on the PodMN network, and our streaming ads will run across multiple podcast and radio streaming platforms in Minnesota. In order to do this, our team asks that you share your member story and possible interviewees, so we can build a schedule of in-person or zoom interviews and discussions about topics. Those conversations and stories will then be produced and distributed to our targeted audiences beginning in June. Please complete this form by June 14 to have your member story considered. If you have questions or want to discuss further, please reach out to Andrea Molnau, VP Communications and Engagement.
