Row Of Cars

Marquette, MI – June 18, 2022 – The 2022 “Catch the Vision” Car Show and Cruise was a major success! This event featured vehicles spanning across many decades, and even a couple of motorcycles! Thank you to the Marquette Township Business Association in Marquette Charter Township for putting together this great show!

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for a show like this, with rows and rows of sweet cars on display. This weekend is always a great way to celebrate Father’s Day with the whole family. At about 11:30am our favorite “Rev It Up” event commenced! Exhibitionists took turns revving their engines for the audience. At about 1:30pm, door prizes and the 50/50 prize were given out, including Best in Show! We had many prizes from oil changes, tire alignments, and more from local businesses around Marquette.

Ford Family

Finally, at 2pm, the Classic Car Cruise began! Over 100 participating vehicles left from the Westwood Mall parking lot, down Werner Street, up Ontario Avenue, and looped back onto Wright Street before turning onto Commerce Drive, then back to the Westwood Mall.

Over 100 cars were present for the show this year! If you have a unique or vintage car, be sure to come along next year! Though admission is free for the public, we also asked people to donate food for the Salvation Army. Check out that truck load!

Special thanks to our sponsors – Marquette Township, the Westwood Mall, Super One Foods, and mediaBrew Communications!

Honor Credit Union Donates $9,300 to Local Non-Profits

Marquette, MI – March 9, 2022 – Honor Credit Union is proud to announce the total donation of $9,300 to 13 local non-profit organizations through its Goals for Good Program. Originally beginning in 2018 through a partnership with Northern Michigan University’s hockey team and Radio Results Network, the program has evolved from supporting five organizations to thirteen organizations.

For every Wildcat goal scored during a home game in the last NMU Hockey season, Honor donated $100 to a designated non-profit organization, with a minimum donation of $300 per game. Throughout the 2021-2022 season, the Wildcats fought a great fight in the ice rink, resulting in many wins, which is an even bigger win for the community.

“In the 3rd year of Goals for Good, it is amazing how many organizations we have impacted,” stated Jamie Gollakner, Honor’s Regional Manager. “When I attend the games, I can’t help but smile at the excitement from the crowd when the Wildcats score. It’s not only a score for NMU but also for that organization in our community. Five organizations received over $1,000 to their bottom line. That is truly amazing!”

Honor’s Goals for Good partnership with NMU Hockey is another continuation of the credit union’s commitment to supporting its communities and local non-profits. The following organizations received
contributions from Honor during the 2021-22 season:
• MÄTI – Masonic Arts, Theatre, and Innovation Company – $1,200 Donated
• Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 380 – $500 Donated
• Chocolay Raptor Center – $300 Donated
• South Shore Fishing Association – $700 Donated
• U.P. Vets Served – $1,100 Donated
• D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans – $500 Donated
• Gwinn Paw Packs – $1,000 Donated
• Room at the Inn – $1,000 Donated
• Let’s Grow KI – $1,000 Donated
• Negaunee Miner Packs – $500 Donated
• Pigs-N-Heat Fire Relief Fund – $300 Donated
• Gwinn Area Community Fund – $300 Donated
• GLCYD: Excellence in Education – $900 Donated
