While the Fighting Irish battle the Trojans on the field, Notre Dame Federal Credit Union will go head-to-head with the USC Credit Union in a battle for charity! Both credit unions will put $5,000 on the line and select a charitable organization. The winner of the Notre Dame vs. USC matchup on November 26 will determine which organization receives a check for $10,000!

If the Fighting Irish can knock off the Trojans in Southern California, Notre Dame FCU will be supporting Project Impact – a South Bend-based charity providing training, counseling, and education services in the areas of personal growth, health, and economic development for the entire family through direct programming and selective collaboration. Project Impact is happy to help all families with a focus on low-income and underserved communities.

• Marriage/parenting coaching and counseling
• Teaching the value and benefits of abstinence
• Educating the community on access to healthcare services
