GREENSBORO, N.C. — Helping out sick kids at the Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman for more than four years has been a heartfelt project of North and South Carolina credit unions, but in late 2005, it was decided to also spotlight other worthy ventures like community grants for small-town projects.
"We're still doing the micro-grants and that program is going well but we've also learned that credit unions found Victory Junction such a worthy recipient of donations we wanted to stay connected," explained John Slack, executive director of the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation.
CCUF, supported by CUs in the North and South Carolina Credit Union Leagues, has been serving as the fundraising vehicle for both the so called Micro-Grant program launched in 2005 and Victory Junction, the facility run by the Petty family of NASCAR fame to make life more enjoyable for chronically ill youngsters from Virginia and across the South.
