With SACU, you contribute support to more than 180 charities and fundraisers each year just by being a member. Below is a list of some of our major affiliates and information on the programs. Watch our newsletters and Web site for opportunities to become involved in these community outreach programs. ExCEL Award Program: SACU proudly recognizes excellence in public school education. In partnership with KENS 5 Television, we honor 19 outstanding educators in the Greater San Antonio area each school year with a Golden Apple trophy and $1,000 cash award. Since its establishment in 1999, the program has recognized more than 170 teachers. Park Restoration and Xeriscaping: With KSTX/KTXI Public Radio as our partner, we help create a beautiful and lasting impression of our community by educating people about low-maintenance planting, water conservation, recycling and composting. We've done Xeriscaping in San Pedro Springs, Woodlawn Lake Park, Madison Square Park, Cortez Library, Semmes Library/Comanche Peak Park, O. P. Schnabel Park and Brachecridge Park. Watch for opportunities to volunteer in our September Seasons newsletter. United Way: As a Pacesetter organization, SACU gives generously and early each year to encourage other corporate donors to contribute. These donations touch hundreds of nonprofits in our community and help the needy. In 2007, SACU corporate and employee donated more than $180,000 boasted 100% employee pledging. Credit Unions for Kids: This program helps fund the Children's Miracle Network, providing medical care to needy children in our local hospitals. SACU helps raise money for this worthy project by coordinating numerous fundraisers, including raffles and bowl-a-thons, throughout the year. Elf Louise Toy Drive and Adopt-a-Family: The 16 full-service San Antonio SACU branches provide Toy Donation Stations to serve as drop-off locations for members to donate new toys. Employee groups provide holiday gifts, food, clothing and furniture to needy families. San Antonio Shred Day: SACU and the Association of Records Managers and Administrators (ARMA) San Antonio combine efforts to make "confetti" out of thousands of pounds of sensitive documents at the annual Shred Day — a public service event dedicated to fighting identity theft. Held on the Saturday following April tax filing day, the event coincides with Fiesta, San Antonio's biggest party of the year, characterized by the tradition of cracking "confetti" eggs, or cascarones, on fellow partygoers' heads. All members of the community are welcome to bring up to 100 pounds of sensitive documents and papers to SACU branch locations to be shredded onsite without charge. The "confetti" created is used to make recycled paper products. Donations to ARMA, which support San Antonio's Dress for Success® program, are accepted and appreciated. People Helping People Affordable Housing: Since 1996, our credit union has been actively involved in this nationally recognized program that we, along with our community partners, created to provide loans for affordable housing. We also partner in the education and counseling of future homebuyers to ensure that our homeowners remain successful. Cumulatively, SACU has invested almost $11 million in loans to the underserved. back to top
