On behalf of Indiana Members Credit Union (IMCU) members, IMCU recently presented a check for $10,000 to IWIN (Indiana Women In Need) Foundation as part of its exclusive Cancer Awareness Debit Card Program. IMCU members nominate a different local cancer related organization to be the beneficiary each year. IWIN Foundation was the selected beneficiary for the past year, receiving a contribution for each signature based transaction made with this card from March 2022-February 2023.

IMCU presented the check to Sue Wynne, Operations Director, IWIN Foundation, and Debbie Laswell, Development/Program Director, IWIN Foundation, on Friday, February 24, 2023.

"The IWIN Foundation is deeply grateful for the generous support of Indiana Members Credit Union,” said Debbie Laswell, Development/Program Director, IWIN Foundation. “This donation will have lasting reverberations for dozens of Hoosiers and their loved ones struggling to afford basic needs, like transportation, meals and childcare, during breast cancer treatment. By engaging its members in initiatives like the Cancer Awareness Debit Card Program, IMCU has found a way to make a measurable impact on an issue that affects virtually every member of our community."

John Newett, President and CEO of IMCU stated, “IMCU is honored to present IWIN Foundation with this donation to support Hoosiers courageously battling breast cancer. Their programs provide the resources necessary to help relieve the financial, physical and emotional burdens faced when battling cancer. We are delighted to connect our members to causes they are passionate about supporting through our Cancer Awareness give-back debit card.”

The card is available for issue to members at IMCU’s 32 Indiana locations. The IMCU Cancer Awareness Debit Card is an option to members with a free checking account and can be issued immediately via IMCU’s instant issue program, which allows members to receive their debit card on the spot.

The new beneficiary for the IMCU Cancer Awareness Debit Card will be announced in the coming weeks on IMCU’s website and social media platforms.
