Indiana Members Foundation Bowl-A-Thon raises over $12,500
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (January 30, 2015) Indiana Members Credit Union (IMCU), Central Indiana’s largest credit union, hosted their 7th annual “Bowl-A-Thon” employee fundraising event, at Expo Bowl in Indianapolis on Sunday, January 18, 2015. There were 375 bowlers that attended the event, filling two flights of 75 lanes. The event raised over $12,500 which will assist in supporting the mission of Indiana Members Foundation.
Features of the day included over 100 door prizes and an award for “Best Team Spirit T-Shirt”. Each bowler that participated received two games and shoes.
The Indiana Members Foundation was founded in 2010 by Indiana Members Credit Union employees and volunteers for the purpose of being a positive influence in the community, specifically providing school children in the Indianapolis area with the necessary essentials for learning and succeeding in their education.
Mandy Emery, assistant vice president of community involvement for IMCU and executive director of Indiana Members Foundation stated, “This event is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. The attendees are primarily IMCU employees, their friends and families. It’s truly heartwarming to realize the generosity of our IMCU family. We were able to raise over $12,500 which will help us (Indiana Members Foundation) to support our mission. We have increased our goal for 2015 to 5,000 backpacks, filled with supplies, and 500 school uniforms, belts and shoes to school children in the Indianapolis area. We also plan to fund four grants to local non-profits that serve the youth in our communities. The grants will be funded up to $2,500 each through our Joan Wolfe Legacy Grant Program. The application process will begin April 15.”
