AmeriCU Credit Union Continues Its Commitment to Mental Wellness Awareness with the Syracuse Crunch

SYRACUSE, NY – FEBRUARY 20, 2025: AmeriCU Credit Union is proud to once again support the Syracuse Crunch mental wellness initiative, reinforcing our shared mission to break the stigma surrounding mental wellness and promote open conversations within our communities.

The Syracuse Crunch, in conjunction with AmeriCU Credit Union and other local organizations, will come together for the team’s season-long awareness campaign to educate fans on mental wellness. This initiative isn’t just a call for change; it is a movement dedicated to delivering education, fostering awareness, and encouraging dialogue. AmeriCU is honored to help make a significant step forward in promoting mental well-being.

“Mental wellness affects every part of our lives—our relationships, our performance, and our overall well-being, and too often, people struggle in silence,” said Ron Belle, President and CEO of AmeriCU Credit Union. “By continuing this partnership with the Syracuse Crunch, we are not only bringing awareness to the importance of mental wellness, we are also sharing support and resources to those who need it and reminding our community that no one has to face these challenges alone.”

“We are grateful for the strong support from AmeriCU Credit Union and our local partners. Their commitment will help us bring our mission to life and positively impact lives,” said Syracuse Crunch Owner Howard Dolgon.

AmeriCU Credit Union will team up with the Syracuse Crunch to start the mental wellness conversation. Syracuse Crunch players will share the challenges they have experienced with mental wellness, offering valuable insights and support to youth, hockey coaches, parents, fans, and the wider community. Players will share their stories during the hockey season, a mental wellness tip will be shared during each game, and the Syracuse Crunch will hold a special Mental Wellness Awareness Night on March 1st during the 2024-25 season.
