The largest credit union in Florida has partnered with Tampa\u2019s Glazer Children\u2019s Museum, making a $125,000 donation to the museum and providing exclusive ticket deals for its members.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tampa-based Suncoast Credit Union announced its new partnership with the Glazer Children\u2019s Museum Monday, along with its $125,000 donation that will be used in the course of five years. That money will help the museum bring in new programs and exhibits, as well as fund operations and other projects, the release says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSupporting children and their futures has been at the heart of Suncoast Credit Union\u2019s mission since our beginning in 1934,\u201d Kevin Johnson, President and CEO of Suncoast Credit Union, says in the release.<\/p>\n
Along with the partnership comes a new exhibit at the children\u2019s museum: Suncoast Imagination Station. The exhibit includes an expansive, interactive table holding train tracks that wind through changeable landscapes children can help create with buildings, bridges and landscaping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The exhibit is designed for accessibility, with multiple height levels to ensure that every child \u2014 including those in wheelchairs \u2014 can fully participate. Interactive crawl-through spaces and center cut-outs also allow children to move around, through and within the exhibit, which is designed to support critical aspects of early childhood development.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with Suncoast Credit Union to expand what\u2019s possible for families at the museum,\u201d Sarah Cole, President and CEO of Glazer Children\u2019s Museum, says in the release.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chartered in 1934 as Hillsborough County Teachers Credit Union, Suncoast Credit Union currently operates 80 full-service branches and serves nearly 1.4 million members across Florida with $20.7 billion in assets. It\u2019s the seventh-largest credit union in the U.S. based on membership and the 10th largest in the U.S. based on assets.<\/p>\n
