Indiana Members Credit Union has presented a check for $3,714 to Beech Grove Schools as part of its ongoing school spirit debit card program. 

The partnership allows Beech Grove fans the opportunity to show their school spirit and support the athletic department by signing up for Hornets-themed debit cards. Every time the card is used, Beech Grove athletics benefits.
