Miracle Jeans Day<br />
On September 12, Montana Credit Unions employees<br />
across the state traded their traditional work attire for jeans to help raise funds<br />
for kids at Montana’s only <strong>Children's</strong> Miracle Network <strong>Hospital</strong>—<strong>Shodair</strong>.<br />
For a suggested donation of $5 per person, MCU employees at 28 locations<br />
raised nearly five times the amount of money raised on Miracle Jeans Day<br />
2011, for a total this year of almost $5,320. Valley Federal Credit Union in<br />
Billings was the top fundraiser, and President/CEO Mike Silvers personally<br />
matched the amount raised by Valley FCU employees.<br />

Day. Executive Director Merry Lunde, her staff, and Touchmark residents<br />
got involved in the event in memory of her father, Gene Rice. Gene was<br />
President of Rocky Mountain Credit Union in Helena and was an active<br />
supporter of children's organizations before passing away last fall. If your<br />

<strong>2012</strong>, a gaming marathon in support of <strong>Children's</strong> Miracle Network <strong>Hospital</strong>s.<br />
