The holiday season is all about brightening spirits. Thanks to the amazing support and generosity of our member-owners, our annual Holiday Cheer program raised $20,000 for children in need and their families!
Every time that member-owners used their Peak Visa® credit card between November 10 and December 31, 2025, we donated 3 cents per transaction to Children’s Miracle Network – in support of Seattle Children’s Hospital and PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center in Springfield, Oregon.
On January 9, we presented a check for $10,000 to Seattle Children’s Hospital and did the same at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center on January 15.
“We are deeply grateful for the support of Peak Credit Union and its members. By supporting Seattle Children’s Uncompensated Care Fund, you help ensure that every child receives the lifesaving care they need, regardless of their family’s ability to pay,” said Edgar Patino, Gift Officer at Seattle Children’s. “Last year alone, Seattle Children’s provided care through more than 526,855 patient visits across our system, with a 32% increase in the need for uncompensated care over the past four years. Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to meet these growing and urgent needs.”
“We are deeply grateful to Peak Credit Union and their members for this incredible gift, helping us invest in lifesaving equipment and resources for our NICU and Pediatric Unit,” said Amy Quiring, Associate Philanthropy Officer – Children’s Miracle Network. “This support ensures access to high-quality neonatal and pediatric care for so many families in our region.”
We’ve partnered with Children’s Miracle Network for the past five years to help support their mission. During that time, Peak has donated a total of $70,000. Credit unions and Children’s Miracle Network have a long history of working together.
Through Credit Unions for Kids (CU4Kids), thousands of credit unions have partnered with Children’s Miracle Network since 1996. Credit unions support local children’s hospitals by sponsoring hospital events and organizing other fundraising events, such as our Holiday Cheer program.
“We believe every child deserves a chance to heal and thrive,” said Peak Vice President of Marketing Laurie Kresl. “Supporting the Children’s Miracle Network reflects our commitment to making a lasting impact on families and communities when they need it most.”Thank you again for helping us make a difference. With Peak, you are part of something bigger. Your support helps enhance the communities we live, work, and play in.
