NEWBURGH, IN (March 31, 2014) -- April is National Credit Union Youth Month at Heritage Federal Credit Union. All month long the credit union is celebrating youth and promoting financial literacy to kids and teens by encouraging them to set up savings accounts and learn how to manage money.
This year’s theme for Youth Month, “Catch the $ave Wave™,” shows youth how Heritage Federal Credit Union can help them meet financial goals. In celebration, the credit union is having a National Youth Savings Challenge sponsored by CUNA (Credit Union National Association) where every deposit made into any child’s account (ages 18 and under) will create an entry into a drawing for a $100 reward.
In addition, to help celebrate Youth Month, youth members can pick-up Catch the $ave Wave worksheets at any Heritage Federal Credit Union branch or by visiting www.hfcu.info. Upon completion of a worksheet, youth members can bring their completed worksheets into any Heritage Federal Credit Union branch to redeem for a prize and will be entered to win even more fun prizes.
Also during the month of April, Heritage Federal Credit Union will be featuring Kirby the Kangaroo’s Treasure Chest Weekly Disappearances. Youth members can help Kirby find the HFCU Treasure Chest in the HFCU branch lobbies and drive-thrus. Youth members can search for the HFCU Treasure Chest each week and earn an entry to win a prize.
Prizes that will be given away during Youth Month are:
- One-Year Family Membership to Mesker Park Zoo
- One-year Family Membership to cMOE
- Movie Ticket 4-Pack
- Sand Pail/Shovel Set
Youth members can also visit Kirby at the Heritage Federal Credit Union Home Show booth in the ONB Events Plaza on April 5th & 6th to pick-up Catch the $ave Wave worksheets as well as vote for their favorite HFCU Treasure Chest.
“We’re very excited about celebrating Youth Month at Heritage Federal Credit Union,” Ruth Jenkins, CCE, President and CEO of the credit union stated. “By teaching kids how to save for their goals, we are encouraging them to become consistent savers. Our goal is to make saving fun for kids so that it becomes a lifetime habit.
