Birmingham Bloomfield Credit Union offers an exciting fundraising program.

BBCU is pleased to announce its fundraising program for youth sports and clubs.  Fundraising is made simple with this program allowing teams and clubs to earn money. To get started, a team/club manager will register his/her team at www.bbcu.org/fundraising. Next, the manager will talk to his/her team/club and spread the word about financing or refinancing their loans at BBCU*. Lastly, for every loan that gets approved from someone who is affiliated with that team/club 0.5% will be donated back to that organization. If that loan application is denied BBCU will donate $5 to that organization.

Birmingham Bloomfield Credit Union is a community credit union that is open for anyone who lives, works, attends school, or worships in Oakland County. BBCU is conveniently located at 576 E. Lincoln Birmingham, MI 48009 and a branch located at 6375 Highland Rd. Waterford MI 48327. There are also hundreds of shared branch options for those on the go.

“This is a great way to earn money for teams or clubs. Since we are a community credit union we want to give back to the community and what better way than to give back to those organizations who support us” said Andy Staley, CEO of BBCU.
