PSA Winner Donates Winning Money to Haiti Relief

Neighborhood Credit Union's Prize Savings Account continues to make a difference in member’s lives. Now, it’s making a difference in Haiti, as well. Jim, one of our monthly prize winners, has requested that we donate his $1,000 prize to the American Red Cross to support Haiti relief and development.

“I was surfing the web and noticing the scams out there for the Haiti relief efforts. That's why I contacted MYNCU for advice,” said Jim, who does not want his last name published.

Jim said he was mildly surprised to learn he had won the money. A few of his co-workers heard that he had won something, but he didn’t know what the prize was until he was contacted by the credit union. Neighborhood Credit Union awards several monthly cash prizes to members with a Prize account, but only one member wins the big $1,000 prize.

The timing of this month’s prize just happened to be right. Jim believes Haiti needed the money more than he does.  However, if there wasn’t a crisis in Haiti, he still would have given the money away.

“I would have divided it up between my family members,” he said.

Jim has been a loyal member of Neighborhood Credit Union member since 1973.  He says the credit union has been loyal to him as well.

“The credit union has always served my needs and been there for me,” he said.

Our Prize Savings Account is a one-of-a kind bargain you won’t find at any other financial institution in the area. Simply save money, and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win cash or prizes.

How the Prize Savings Account works: Neighborhood Credit Union members receive one drawing entry for every $25 monthly average balance in their Prize Savings Account. The greater the savings, the greater chance a member has of winning. Each month, drawings are held for prizes including $1,000 cash rewards. Each quarter, the credit union also awards a plasma TV and $1,000 in cash. At the end of each year, a $25,000 grand prize winner is drawn based on the amount in savings at the close of business December 31.
