Successful One-Year Partnership

In early March 2024 Indiana Members Credit Union (IMCU), Central Indiana’s largest credit union announced that the Endowment would be the new one year member-nominated beneficiary for its Cancer Awareness Debit Card. This is their most popular “Choose your Charity” community giveback card and provides members an opportunity to support a different cancer-related organization each year.

A portion of each transaction made with this card beginning on March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025 would then be donated to the Endowment.

On February 9, 2025 to help kick-off the Teen Board’s Day of Hope fundraising event, Gina Terril and Nikki Thompson, both with IMCU presented the Teen Board with a check for $10,000!

After Thorpe Miller, IMCU’s Chief Marketing Officer, attended Day of Hope in 2024, he was so impressed by this group of teens, that he said he wanted to make sure the donation given in 2025 would be earmarked towards the Teen Board’s fundraising goal.

“IMCU has been honored to partner with the Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment for Pediatric Cancer Research in supporting their mission of raising funds for researchers” said John Newett, president and CEO of IMCU. “We always take pride in being involved with and helping great organizations and were delighted to help carry on Caroline’s legacy through this partnership.”
