Wear and Share to Help Haiti Heal and Recover

To help provide disaster relief for Haiti, CU*SWAG has designated this Thursday, January 21st, as ‘Wear and Share to Help Haiti Heal’ Day. CU*SWAG strongly believes in the credit union philosophy of ‘People Helping People’ and pledges to donate 100% of profits from orders placed on January 21, 2010, to the National Credit Union Foundation CUAid Disaster Relief System.

“As we continue to work with credit unions around the country, we have built the credit union spirit of people helping people into the CU*SWAG culture from day one,” said James Robert Lay, Grower of Relationships. “CU*SWAG wants to show the world that credit unions offer more than just financial services. They offer hope and help for people and nations in need.”

Currently, CU*SWAG donates ten percent of its profits to a quarterly featured charity within the global community and wanted to expand its level of social responsibility. With the disaster in Haiti and the extreme need for assistance, CU*SWAG wanted to do more than just send in a check. The goal is reach as many credit unions as possible and have their money go straight to providing aid in Haiti.

“We are excited to offer credit unions the ability to give back and help CUAid raise money for Haiti relief efforts while credit unions get CU*SWAG to share the credit union love with their employees, members and community,” said Lay.

Tweet, post to Facebook, call, email or text your credit union friends to tell them about ‘Wear and Share to Help Haiti Heal’ Day. Help spread the word while showing members and the community credit union love with a CU*SWAG shirt.
