We Raised Over $3,800 to Benefit Local Students in Need

DuPage Credit Union and Citadel team members stand in front of the haul of electronics set to be recycled.

On Friday, June 12, 2026 our annual electronic recycling and document shredding event, Drive, Drop & Donate, raised $3,892 to benefit local students in need! Since 2014, our We’ve Got Your Back fundraiser has raised more than $129,200, with 100% of donations used to purchase backpacks and school supplies.

We also collected over 20,000 pounds of material to be recycled through our recycling partner, Citadel, including 15,900 pounds of paper and 4,800 pounds of electronics. That amount is the equivalent to saving 135 trees, more than 55,000 gallons of water, and over 32,000 kilowatt-hours of energy.

Thank you to all of our members who donated, Citadel for their continued partnership, and to our team for their commitment towards helping students in need!
