Community Involvement

Run to Victory

Vizo Financial will once again be a Victory Lane sponsor of the 2024 Run to Victory 5k and Fun Run event to benefit Victory Junction on September 14, 2024. This year’s event will offer both in-person and virtual participation options to help raise money for Victory Junction, a NASCAR-themed camp located in Randleman, N.C., that serves children dealing with serious medical conditions and chronic illnesses. Their mission is to enrich the lives of children with serious illnesses by providing life-changing camping experiences that are exciting, fun and empowering, at no cost to children or their families. Vizo Financial will also be organizing a team of staff to participate in the walk/run/roll event.

CU Empowerment Grants

Vizo Financial recently funded a second year of Empowerment Grants with the CrossState Credit Union Foundation. This program was promoted in coordination with the CrossState Credit Union Association’s Fall Leadership Conference on September 5-7, 2024, and will continue to be shared with credit unions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Funds will continue to be allocated on an annual basis to the state credit union foundations that serve the majority of Vizo Financial members within the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas regions. The program is intended to help natural person credit unions build financial literacy programs that benefit their membership.

Credit Union Movement Sponsorships

Vizo Financial continues to support the credit union movement through various sponsorships.

Enhanced FiCEP

Vizo Financial is the sponsor of the CrossState Credit Union Foundation’s Enhanced Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP), which is offered two times during the year – once in the spring and once in the fall. This program creates a pathway for the Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) designation and is designed for credit union professionals who are committed to helping members gain control of their financial future.

Foundation for Free Enterprise Education

Vizo Financial sponsored the Foundation for Free Enterprise Education, whose mission is to heighten the awareness of Pennsylvania’s youth about their future role in the American free enterprise system by delivering high-quality and practical hands-on learning experiences. The Corporate’s sponsorship provided two high school students with the opportunity to attend a one-week summer program to learn all about what it takes to run a business.

CrossState Credit Union Foundation Viva Las Vegas Sponsorship

Vizo Financial was a silver sponsor of the program guide for the recent Viva Las Vegas Nite to benefit the CrossState Credit Union Foundation. This annual fundraising event for the Foundation is hosted in conjunction with the CrossState Credit Union Association’s Fall Leadership Conference on September 5-7, 2024.
