On Saturday, May 31, MSU's College of Human Medicine hosted the Teddy Bear Health Fair, supported by MSUFCU. The event was on MSU's campus at Demonstration Hall Field, located at 393 Chestnut Road, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET. The Teddy Bear Health Fair provided a fun and safe environment for children to learn about their health and feel comfortable with health care workers.

Children are encouraged to bring their favorite stuffed animal for a "health check-up" at the Teddy Bear Hospital where medical students, first responders, and health professionals perform the check-ups. Along with a health checkup, the morning will include arts and crafts, games, health and wellness resources, and more. MSUFCU employee volunteers provided crayons and coloring financial education pages to attendees.

MSUFCU is a proud sponsor of the Teddy Bear Health Fair and the MSU College of Human Medicine's efforts to educate youth on the importance of health and wellbeing.

MSU Federal Credit Union is proud to partner with the Novi Public Library to make a positive community impact! Novi Public Library provides extensive community resources and programming to fuel youth development, community engagement, and lifelong learning.

MSUFCU announced a donation supporting the Novi Public Library at our Grand Opening event in October 2024. This funding benefits several key 2025 programs and projects to foster inclusion, financial literacy, community engagement, and innovation. Projects include a new welcome sign to be installed at the entrance of the library that will feature the words "welcome" and "read" in over 40 languages, an outreach program that delivers Library materials to older adult facilities and Read Boxes, and support for the iCube Makerspace.

MSUFCU's partnership also supports the Novi Public Library's Summer Songfest series, hosted June through September, and the Teen Space After-School Program.

MSUFCU was honored to be the Volunteer Sponsor of the 6th Annual Izzo Legacy Race, which took place on Sunday, April 27, on the beautiful campus of Michigan State University. The event brought together more than 7,000 runners, walkers, rollers, and supporters who came out to celebrate the incredible legacy of Coach Tom Izzo and to support the Izzo Legacy Foundation.

Race day featured a variety of events to engage participants of all ages and abilities, including a 5K Run/Walk, 5K Roll, 1/2 K Walk/Roll, Kids Races, and a Virtual 5K. From families pushing strollers, groups of friends walking together, and seasoned runners racing towards their personal goals, the atmosphere was filled with enthusiastic energy and Spartan pride.

MSUFCU employees were excited to volunteer their time, along with several of our Women of Sparta athletes to welcome participants at the finish line. Together, they passed out medals and offered words of encouragement. Their presence reflected MSUFCU's ongoing commitment to giving back and staying engaged in our communities.

The Izzo Legacy Race continues to be a powerful tribute to coach Izzo's commitment to leadership, community, and giving back. MSUFCU is grateful to be part of such a meaningful tradition that brings people together for a great cause and strengthens the Spartan community.
