Credit Union Partners with American Heart Association to Support Schools

Posted in:

[The following is a paid advertisement.]

Scott Credit Union, headquartered in Edwardsville, was recently recognized for its partnership with the American Heart Association (AHA) to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in area schools.

“The American Heart Association designed the CPR training program for schools that include scientifically advanced CPR kits,” said SCU Community Relations Supervisor Jennifer Hess. Scott Credit Union signed on with the AHA to fully fund 15 CPR kits for 12 schools in the Illinois counties of Madison, Monroe and St. Clair. The local credit union funded the initiative, which started in January of 2015, at a cost of $35,000 over 3 years, Hess noted.

“An Illinois bill passed in May of 2014 mandates that students receive CPR education before they graduate high school,” Hess said. “With funding becoming increasingly scarce for Illinois schools, this was an excellent opportunity for Scott Credit Union to step in to help fulfill the mission of a community partner while also benefitting local students and schools.”

Scott Credit Union has made giving back to its communities a major priority, contributing significant funding and over 2,400 volunteer hours to a variety of local civic efforts throughout the region in 2015.
