MADISON, WI – CUNA Network Services is joining forces with credit unions to raise money for the Credit Unions Rebuild America (CURA) Disaster Relief Fund. CUNA Network Services will donate a minimum of $1 for every CUisp account opened at participating credit unions by December 31, including current accounts. Their goal is to raise $150,000.

"Everyone in the CUNA Network Services family is deeply saddened by the events of September 11^th," says Doug Benzine, senior vice president of CUNA Network Services. "It is our hope that credit unions and their members will join us in our efforts to illustrate the Credit Union spirit in the face of this tragedy."

The CURA fund was created to provide the credit union movement with a central collection point through which its generosity can be channeled in support of relief efforts currently underway in New York, Washington, D.C. and other communities affected by recent terrorist attacks. Seventy-five percent of money raised will go to the Red Cross and twenty-five percent will go to the September 11^th Fund.

Credit unions interested in participating in the CUisp fundraiser should contact Ellis Waller at (800) 356-9655, ext. 4137 for more information.
