For the seventh consecutive year, “Nothing but Net” took on new meaning for the University of Pittsburgh Men’s basketball team and Clearview Federal Credit Union.
As part of the Points for Pediatrics program with the University, Clearview FCU pledged to donate $40 for each 3-point basket made by the team during the regular 2015-2016 season to the JDRF of Western Pennsylvania.
JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic plan to end Type 1 Diabetes through its mission to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat Type 1 Diabetes and its complications.
“We’re always proud to partner with Pitt Athletics to support great local charities like JDRF,” Mark Brennan, president/CEO of the $1 billion credit union said. “Our credit union family has been touched by the cause of JDRF, and we are very grateful for the chance to support them.”
With the team making a total of 188 3-point baskets, Clearview FCU recently presented a $7,520 check to Carol M. Yannuzzi, executive director for JDRF of Western Pa.
“I thank Clearview for their continuing support of our organization through the Points for Pediatrics program and beyond. I’d also like to thank the University of Pittsburgh athletes, whose skills on the court resulted in Clearview’s generous donation,” Yannuzzi said. “These funds will support the accelerated pace of JDRF funded research and will make a real difference in the lives of all those touched by type 1 diabetes. I am truly grateful for our Clearview partnership in achieving our vision of a world without type 1 diabetes.”
