Big Brothers & Sisters Bowlathon

The Annual Big Brothers & Sisters Bowlathon Fundraiser was a huge success this year as usual. Motor City was a proud sponsor of this event and had a great time participating. As a team, MCCCU raised a grand total of $4238.50 putting us as the top pledging team for Saturday's Bowling! Way to Go! Big Brothers & Sisters brough home a total of $50,000 for the entire campaign. Many children in our community will benefit from these funds.

I would like to thank MCCCU staff, members and our community for their hard work and efforts in raising money for this very worthy cause. I would like to send a special thanks to Mike Powis (commercial loans manager) with a donation of $1305.00, Kathy Moore (member service representative at Market Square) with her donation of over $500.00 and Brandy Johnson (Assistant Branch Manager of Tecumseh West Branch) who donated her 50/50 draw winnings back to the charity.

Again, thank you everyone for your hard work and support. The event was not only a success in donations, but an extremely fun day of bowling!

W.E Care For Kids



Motor City Communit Credit Union is pleased to announce the proud sponsorship of the Windsor Essex Care for Kids Foundation, yet again!

W.E Care For Kids is a local fundraising campaign in support of Paediatric Programs at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Hospital, Leamington District Memorial Hospital and Windsor Regional Hospital. The funds raised by this campaign are used to support local paediatric care programmes and to enable us to treat our children within our own community. Having a child that is ill is devastating. Having to leave your community for treatment in another city, without family and friends for support, is tragic.

Please work with us to support W.E Care For Kids to keep our children at home. MCCCU will be selling raffle tickets within our branches to support this precious cause. Last year Motor City donated $12,000 to support the children in our community. Help us to exceed our 2006 donation and continue to keep our kids where they belong.

MCCCU supports George Copeland Fund

Motor City Community Credit Union continues to stand behind our community. With the recent unfortunate accident of fire fighter George Copeland, Motor City has started the efforts in raising funds to help in supporting this injured hero. Please visit one of our 5 branch locations where a trust fund has been set up for donations made by our community.

PRESS RELEASE:

MCCCU Spearheads Fundraising Initiative!

After Firefighter George Copeland’s unfortunate accident last week, the community has come together to offer support to our local hero. Motor City Community Credit Union immediately offered to host a trust account for George Copeland and his family. And MCCCU continues to lead the fundraising efforts, by making an exceptional donation to the trust fund.

This Monday at 11 am at Firehall # 1, 815 Goyeau Street in Windsor, Motor City Community Credit Union will donate a substantial sum to the George Copeland and Family Trust Fund, which is administered by the Windsor Professional Firefighter’s Association. The donation is one of the many ways that the credit union gives back to the Windsor and surrounding area.

The Mayor of Windsor, Eddie Francis, and Fire Department Chief Dave Fields will be on hand to lend support to the fundraising initiative.
