Illinois Credit Union League

Thank you to the Illinois Credit Union League for having me out to speak at your 94th (!) Annual Convention last week! ?

Big shout out to Sandy Ramage-Kallal, Jasmine Taylor-Newton, Alexandra Leezer, Kevin Shaw, Melissa Vidito, and the rest of the event planning team and ICUL leadership. ??

?? $1.1 Million Raised for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! ?? We are incredibly grateful to the local credit unions, sponsors, and supporters who came together at this year’s second annual In the Cellar event, raising over $1.1M for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! Your generosity helps make a profound difference in the lives of our patients and families at Lurie Children's. ?? This year, we were honored to have Lurie Children’s patient Amelia share her journey focused on the critical importance of mental health care—an area that needs support now more than ever. A special thank you to all our local sponsors who made this event possible. Your dedication empowers us to deliver hope, healing, and health to every child who walks through our doors.
