Leading IL Credit Union Backs Springfield Fight For Air Climb

CEFCU is joining the fight against lung disease by teaming up with the American Lung Association in Illinois. The local credit union has signed on as the presenting sponsor of the Fight For Air Climb on February 25 at Wyndham Springfield City Centre. This sponsorship is an investment of $20,000 in local lung disease prevention, research and support.

“Lung disease impacts more than 1.3 million people in Illinois,” said Maggie Owen, Development Manager of the Lung Association in Illinois. “That’s why CEFCU’s contribution as presenting sponsor is so significant in our community. From funding asthma education, to providing resources to those suffering from lung cancer, this support helps make people’s lives better every day.”

On February 25, thousands of people will take to the stairs in the Fight For Air Climb at Wyndham Springfield City Centre (32 floors and 532 steps) in an effort to raise awareness and money to fight lung disease.

Janá Stevens, VP of Marketing at CEFCU, said, “With so many affected by lung disease, it has been an honor for CEFCU to have partnered with the American Lung Association for the past 14 years to support their efforts to improve the health of our community.”

CEFCU is an Illinois-based credit union that serves more than 327,000 members. CEFCU’s mission is to provide quality service and products to improve the financial well-being of members.
