Consumers Credit Union is once again bringing a little extra goodness to our communities this tournament season with the fun charity bracket challenge, #MarchGoodness.

Sixteen organizations will face off during the Sweet 16-like challenge, where the winners are determined by voters (you and all your friends!) on Consumers’ Facebook, Instagram,, Twitter and LinkedIn pages. #MarchGoodness voting will begin on Monday, March 13.

For participating, each of the 16 charities will automatically receive a $200 donation. As the organizations advance through the brackets by popular vote, the donation will grow. Charities that make it to the Elite 8 will receive another $300 to their total donations, $500 for the Final Four, and $700 to the charities that reach the final championship round. The winning charity will receive an additional $1,000 for a $2,700 donation in total! In all, Consumers will donate $10,000 to these impactful Michigan-based charities over the course of #MarchGoodness.

Featured organizations include:

• Bronson Health Foundation
• Cherry Health
