This year’s Silver Star Gala marks the fourth year that the Credit Unions in New Mexico have continued to raise $1 million over a five year plan for a new 24-hour pediatric emergency unit at UNM Children’s Hospital. So far, credit unions have raised more than $649,000. The state-of-the-art pediatric emergency unit opened in 2007, and provides the highest level of care by some of the top pediatric specialists in the nation. UNM Children’s Hospital treats more than 57,000 children and premature infants a year from every county in New Mexico, including 98 percent of New Mexico’s child cancer patients. Keeping with the credit union philosophy of helping our members and the communities they live in, The Credit Union Association of New Mexico and New Mexico’s credit unions are proud to support this important project. Join us for a fun filled evening as we continue to fully equip the pediatric emergency unit.
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives owned and operated by their members. Credit unions operate under the “people helping people” philosophy and aim to meet the financial needs of their member-owners. Because of the focus on serving their owners, credit unions provide excellent personal service and members often earn higher returns on their savings while paying lower rates for loans. The state of New Mexico is home to 52 credit unions and more than 550,000 credit union members. An essential part of the credit union philosophy is community service and community involvement.
