CUnited funds also will go to CURA
September 28, 2001

The Indiana Credit Union League’s newly established CUnited Emergency Relief Campaign has extended its support to include CURA, the "Credit Unions Rebuild America" fund, which is managed by CUNA and the National Credit Union Foundation.

When Indiana announced its program Sept. 20, the New York Credit Union Foundation was chosen as the recipient of all funds raised for emergency relief in the state. As details of the CURA fund became known, the League decided to extend its support. The CURA fund has designated the Red Cross and the United Way’s collaborative September 11 Fund as its primary beneficiaries.

"The funds we’ll be giving to CURA will allow us to round out our disaster relief efforts," said League President John McKenzie. "Sending CUnited donations to CURA ensures our credit unions that, in addition to supporting those in the credit union community, their contributions will go to the Red Cross and the United Way, two organizations that are legendary when it comes to disaster assistance."
