Help us kick off the opening Saturday of the 2026 Rotary Lights season! Marine Credit Union volunteers will be on-site supporting one of the La Crosse community’s favorite holiday traditions. As you enjoy the lights, look for MCU team members assisting with traffic direction, collecting food donations, and helping create a smooth and enjoyable experience for visitors. We look forward to celebrating the season and giving back to the community with you!

Partnering with Sal Frelick

Milwaukee Outfielder and World Champion

We’ve partnered with Sal, not only because of what he does on the field, but because of our shared values and mission to do good off of it.

Nominated for the 2025 Roberto Clemente Award, which goes to the player who “best represents the game of baseball through sportsmanship, community involvement and positive contributions on and off the field,” we couldn’t think of a more perfect embodiment of what we focus on here – advancing lives of the people across our communities. Stay tuned for more this year and see how our aligned missions and values come to life.
