Portland, OR, October 21, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Advantis Credit Union, one of Oregon’s largest not-for-profit, financial cooperatives announced a $10,000 donation to Credit Unions for Kids in honor of International Credit Union Day. Thursday, October 20 marks International Credit Union Day, a day that Advantis celebrates its members and the importance of the credit union movement.
Advantis’ donation to Credit Unions for Kids, a grassroots fundraising effort involving credit unions throughout the region, will go towards endowment funding for pediatric cancer research at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and will support clinical trials for complex and hard-to-treat childhood cancers, as well as ensuring state-of-the-art treatment access for young patients.
