United Federal Credit Union donated $770 to the Logan Center as a result of its “You Color, U Donate” contest. For each page entered, UFCU donated $1 to Logan Center. 770 coloring sheets were submitted.
“Our “You Color, U Donate” awareness campaign was a demonstration of our continued commitment to the Logan Center and its desire to help raise awareness about autism in the local community,” explains Berrien Springs branch manager Brenda Roggow. “The campaign was timed to coincide with autism awareness month and we had so many children excited to submit their coloring sheets and help out the Logan Center.”
In October 2017, UFCU agreed to a capital donation of $30,000 over three years to help Logan Center’s self-sustaining operations at its Benton Harbor facility. On November 8, 2017, Room 4 of the facility was dedicated to UFCU.
As part of the contest, a $500 Youth Savings Deposit was awarded to one of the children who submitted a coloring sheet. The parents of eight-year-old Weston Dasher from Berrien Springs were awarded the $500 Youth Saving Deposit in his name on April 30, 2018.
The Logan Center supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities so they, and their families, may achieve their desired quality of life. Their services allow children to transition from special needs classrooms to mainstream general education classrooms.
