Raise a Glass for a Cause at ACE26
Attendees at the 2026 MCUL Annual Convention & Exposition (ACE26) will have multiple opportunities to connect, celebrate and support the Michigan Credit Union Foundation (MCUF) during two signature events taking place throughout convention week.
Corks for a Cause
Kicking off ACE26 during the Welcome Reception on Tuesday, June 2, Corks for a Cause returns with its popular wine pull — plus a new premium experience.
The Corks for a Cause Wine Pull gives attendees the chance to take home a bottle selected at random from a curated collection valued up to $200. Tickets are $35, and the popular bottle swap area ensures everyone leaves with a selection they'll enjoy.
New this year, is the Mystery Reserve Premium Pull ($75), featuring a limited collection of elevated selections including premium bourbons, whiskeys and other distinguished spirits. Every ticket guarantees a bottle from the reserve assortment, offering an upgraded experience for those looking for something special.
MCUF is currently accepting donations of premium bourbon, whiskey and other highly sought-after spirits from Michigan credit unions to help build this special collection. Donating credit unions will be recognized with a custom label on their bottle as a thank-you for supporting the Foundation's work.
Sip & Support Showcase
Later in the week, attendees can also enjoy the new Sip & Support Showcase during the Expo Hall on Thursday, June 4.
This relaxed tasting experience will feature curated beer and spirit samples from local Grand Rapids breweries and distilleries. Tasting tickets are $25 and include up to four tastings, with attendees visiting participating sponsor booths to redeem their samples, creating a fun way to explore the Expo Hall, connect with industry partners and support the Foundation.
Supporting the Mission
Proceeds from these events support the Michigan Credit Union Foundation's efforts to expand financial education, strengthen community enrichment initiatives and advance financial well-being across Michigan communities.
ACE26 attendees can purchase tickets for Corks for a Cause and the Sip & Support Showcase when registering for the convention, as well as onsite.
Raise a glass, connect with colleagues and help make an impact.
