Indiana Members Credit Union donates $10,000 to Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment

On behalf of Indiana Members Credit Union (IMCU) members, IMCU recently presented a check for $10,000 to the Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment as part of its exclusive Cancer Awareness Debit Card Program.

IMCU members nominate a different local cancer-related organization to be the beneficiary each year. Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment was the selected beneficiary for the past year, receiving a contribution for each signature-based transaction made with this card from March 2024 to February 2025.

IMCU Assistant Vice President of Business Development Gina Terril presented the check to Libby Symmes, President and Co-Founder of Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment on Feb. 9.

“For all of IMCU’s Affinity Debit Card users, thank you for your philanthropy and charitable giving,” Symmes said. “For members who specifically chose the Cancer Awareness Debit Card, a profound thank you for empowering our Teen Board and for contributing to critically needed pediatric cancer research.”

The Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment was created in honor of the late Caroline Symmes. She was five years old when cancer ended her life. Out of her tragedy, the Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment was born to raise funds for researchers at Riley Hospital for Children and inspire hope in future pediatric patients and their families.

“IMCU is honored to support the Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment on behalf of our members,” IMCU Chief Executive Officer John Newett said. “Our Cancer Awareness Debit Card was created to benefit local cancer related organizations dedicated to making a meaningful difference in our community. The Caroline Symmes Children’s Cancer Endowment’s mission to provide funding for researchers at Riley Hospital for Children that develop cutting edge research benefiting children impacted by cancer aligns perfectly with our goals. We are incredibly grateful to our members for their unwavering support, which makes contributions like this possible. Thank you for helping us make a positive impact together.”

The card is available for issue to members at IMCU’s 31 Indiana locations. The IMCU Cancer Awareness Debit Card is an option to members with a free checking account and can be issued immediately via IMCU’s instant issue program, which allows members to receive their debit card on the spot.

The new beneficiary for the IMCU Cancer Awareness Debit Card will be announced in the coming weeks on IMCU’s website and social media platforms. For more information about the IMCU Cancer Awareness Debit Card, please visit IMCU online at imcu.com or visit an IMCU branch for details.
