Help SLFCU Raise a Total of $200,000 to Keep Kids at UNM Children’s Hospital Learning

SLFCU is committed to raising funds over the next several years on behalf of the New Mexico Credit Union Connected Academy (NMCUCA) to help build an endowment fund large enough to provide a long-term teaching position at UNMCH. We are doing this by engaging our employees, members, and community partners with innovative fundraising opportunities.

During a significant health crisis, a child’s education often stops. If they miss more than 10 consecutive days of school, they are often disenrolled. High school dropout rates for children with chronic absenteeism due to health issues can be as high as 61%. SLFCU has joined six other credit unions to help fund a full-time teacher for UNM Children’s Hospital (UNMCH).

JOIN THE EFFORT TODAY. 

To help us reach our goal, you can:

• Donate $20 or more and receive a Sandy the Lab stuffed animal – you may request that it be delivered to a critically ill child at UNMCH.
• Donate by calling us at 505.293.0500 or sending a secure message in online or mobile banking.
• Join us at one of our local fundraising events. Upcoming events are listed in the calendar below.

Your contribution will help keep critically ill children in school and on track toward graduation.
