Educational Credit Union in Topeka Kansas has started to get involved with the Pay It Forward concept. During their Credit Union week(Oct. 13th-16th) all of their branches gave $20 to the first 25 participants. For the $20 they want the participants to answer the question "If Educational Credit Union gave me $20 to help someone else, I would...". All the participants need to do is make a video talking about their intentions for the money then do a follow up e-mail to let the Credit Union know what actually happened. Once the e-mail is sent, the Credit Union will post each participants video onto You Tube, where people can vote for their favorite by posting a comment. The participant with the highest votes will then receive $500 for themselves as well as $500 for the charity of their choice.The Credit Union and its branches decided to do this to share their values with other people. The Credit Union believes in people helping people and want to share that idea. They hope that this money will continue and expand through the people and that many people can get helped by such a small and easy start.
