RANCHO CUCAMONGA, California – In honor of Giving Tuesday, CO-OP Financial Services will donate $200 to CUAid for every registration for its THINK 20 conference now through December 3, 2019.

THINK 20, taking place May 4-7, 2020, at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, is open for registration immediately by visiting https://co-opthink.org. Registration can be completed at the “Fall Special” rate of $1,299 – so attendees can not only activate a $200 donation to the CUAid General Disaster Relief Fund, but attend the industry’s premier innovation and content platform at 35 percent off the regular conference rate.

Part of the National Credit Union Foundation, CUAid is an online disaster relief fundraising center for credit unions and their members. CO-OP Financial Services, on behalf of its client credit unions, is a supporter of NCUA and the individual fundraising efforts activated by CUAid in times of emergency. CO-OP is one of the largest supporters of the credit union system, donating more than $2.5 million annually through support of leagues and associations throughout the country.

“From flooding in the Midwest to wildfires in California, CUAid has again been an important channel for disaster relief for our movement, and makes a perfect resource to support on Giving Tuesday,” said Samantha Paxson, Chief Experience Officer for CO-OP. “We’re proud to help our credit union communities by assisting the mission of CUAid.”

Giving Tuesday was started in 2012 as a way of kicking off charitable giving during the holiday season, following the major Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping days.
