Together, We’re Changing Kids’ Health
In just three short years, In the Cellar has brought credit union leaders, partners, and communities together to raise over $3 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, supporting vital mental health programs for children.
What began as an idea to do more has grown into a movement — one fueled by generosity and a shared belief that when credit unions come together, we can change kids’ health and change the future.
But our work is far from done. Every child deserves access to the care, comfort, and hope they need to thrive. With your partnership, we can continue to strengthen hospitals, support families, and ensure that kids everywhere have the opportunity to grow and feel joy.
Whether through sponsorship, attendance, or advocacy, your support helps make miracles possible.
Together, we can keep the momentum going!
Why mental health?
A growing number of teens in the Great Lake states are facing serious mental health challenges, often exceeding the national average. Many of these young people are not getting the access to treatment or support required.
These trends aren’t just statistics: they reflect unmet needs across our communities, schools, and hospitals – you have the power to create real impact through your support of In the Cellar.
