Credit Unions For Kids Update
Credit Unions For Kids Ask For Your Help
Oklahoma's Credit Unions for Kids committee is asking for you to help Children's Miracle Network by contacting Oklahoma state legislators regarding the state matching funds program. The state legislators are considering eliminating the one-to-one matching funds and implementing a 50 cent-to-one match. This will be devastating to children's health in Oklahoma, especially in the field of diabetes, cancer and genetics.
Please take time to call, mail, fax or email your state legislators and implore them to continue the one-to-one matching funds.
Thank you in advance for your help in this very urgent matter . |
