There was more friendly credit union "wagering" Friday on the Pittsburgh Steelers-Green Bay Packers Super Bowl. But staffer at the $470 million Pioneer CU of Green Bay declined to participate, taking pot shots "at those who have to endure living n Pittsburgh and so we don't want to take their money."
Both foundations of the Wisconsin and Pennsylvania CU leagues along with individual CUs in the two states-except Pioneer-have now joined in the Super Bowl "wagering" fun with hundreds in contributions directed to hospitals and local charities depending on which team wins.
"I'd say those folks in Green Bay are simply afraid their team will lose and so they don't want to put up the money," boasted Ray Brunner, chairman of the Pennsylvania Credit Union Association and president/CEO of the $165 million West-Aircomm FCU of Beaver in touting a Steelers victory and a $50 charity pledge.
