PROVO, Utah–Mountain America Credit Union donated $17,600 to the American Red Cross of Utah as part of an ongoing promotion in which it adds $50 to the total donation amount for every three-point shot made by the Brigham Young University (BYU) men’s basketball team. 

This latest gift brings the total funds donated to the American Red Cross of Utah since 2018 to $157,000.

“Every three-pointer represents more than just points on the board—it symbolizes our commitment to leave a lasting mark on the communities we serve,” MACU COO/EVP Nathan Andersen said in a statement. “With the American Red Cross and BYU, we are turning on-court success into meaningful community impact.”

The American Red Cross will use the funds to assist Utah communities in preparing for, preventing, and responding to emergencies, including house fires. 

“We’re so grateful for the yearslong support of Mountain America Credit Union,” said Adam S. Whitaker, chief development officer for the Utah Nevada Region of the American Red Cross. “Their partnership with BYU athletics is inspiring and exciting in the way it lifts people in real and measurable need here at home and around the country. Mountain America’s generosity does that, and we couldn’t do our work without them.”
