At Minnequa Works Credit Union, we’re honored to reflect on our recent involvement with the “Pints with Purpose” event, which raised an astounding $75,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network. This event was a true testament to the power of collaboration, bringing together credit union leaders, partners, and supporters from across Colorado in a shared commitment to making a difference for children in need.
As proud members of the Pueblo Area Chapter of Credit Unions, our team actively participated in fundraising efforts and the planning of this impactful event. We’re grateful to everyone who participated, from our fellow credit unions to the incredible partners and vendors who supported this cause. It was a day of connection, camaraderie, and community, highlighting the “people helping people” spirit that defines the credit union movement.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make “Pints with Purpose” a success. Together, we truly are the local difference!
Colorado Credit Unions Help Raise $75,000 at Pints with Purpose for Children’s Miracle Network
The Pints with Purpose Committee, a coalition of credit union leaders from across Colorado, is thrilled to announce the outstanding success of this year’s “Pints with Purpose” event, held in October, which raised an incredible $75,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network. Co-chaired by Nathan Cape, CEO of Minnequa Works Credit Union and Board Chair for the Pueblo Area Chapter of Credit Unions, the event brought together credit union leaders, partners, and vendors from across the state, all united by the shared mission of making a difference for children in need.
Throughout the year, credit unions across Colorado, including those in the Pueblo Area, actively participated in fundraising efforts to support this cause. The “Pints with Purpose” event was a shining example of statewide collaboration among Credit Union Chapters, vendors, and partners, highlighting the strength of the credit union movement and its commitment to community support.
With over 250 attendees, the event was filled with energy and connection as participants enjoyed a day of networking, refreshments, food, live music, and karaoke—all in the spirit of “people helping people,” a fundamental credit union value. Together, credit unions across Colorado demonstrated the tremendous impact they can achieve through unity and purpose.
“We are beyond thrilled with the results of this event,” said Nathan Cape. “The overwhelming support from our credit union community and partners made this success possible. We are honored to contribute to the Children’s Miracle Network and proud of what we can accomplish when we come together.”
