Credit Unions Kids at Heart

Credit Unions Kids at Heart was founded in 1996 by Eastern Corporate Federal Credit Union (EasCorp) and a small group of Massachusetts credit unions to leverage the collective impact of credit union charitable efforts and as a reflection of the industry’s belief in collaboration in service of a greater good.  Today, Credit Unions Kids at Heart is a favorite philanthropic activity of the credit union community in New England and beyond, with more than 50 participating credit unions, corporate sponsors, and other business partners.  As one of its fundraising initiatives, the organization sponsors a team that receives charitable bibs to run the Boston Marathon on behalf of Boston Children’s Hospital.  The organization and its dedicated supporters are presently committed to funding research activities aimed at the prevention, treatment, and/or cure of pediatric neurological diseases. Since its founding, Credit Unions Kids at Heart has donated over $9 million toward its mission to help children live healthy and happy lives.  To learn more, please visit www.cukidsatheart.org.
