SECU to Support University of Maryland Children's Hospital

SECU, Maryland's largest credit union, has joined with UM's Men's Basketball to donate $5 to Points for Pediatrics for every point scored.

For the fourth year in a row, SECU – Maryland’s largest credit union – is partnering with the University of Maryland Men’s Basketball Team to support Points for Pediatrics.

SECU will donate $5 to Points for Pediatrics and the University of Maryland Children’s Hospital for every point scored by the Maryland Men during the Terps’ 2015-16 regular season.

Over the past three years, SECU has donated more than $33,000 to the University of Maryland Children’s Hospital through Points for Pediatrics. Last year alone, a memorable regular season for the Terps turned into a SECU donation of $10,800 to the hospital after the Terps finished the 2014-15 regular season scoring 2,160 points.
