Play Northern Credit Union’s True North Adventure Game & Earn Dollars to Support the “We Are Not Alone” Parent Support Campaign

About the Game:

Northern Credit Union’s ‘True North Adventure Game’ is an online game that’s fun, but more importantly, a great way to raise money for non-profit organizations. In our case, please play to raise money for our “We Are Not Alone” Campaign. The trivia-based adventure allows players to amass points towards a charity of the player’s choice. Then Northern Credit Union makes a monthly donation of $3,000 towards the charities that have been rewarded the most points.

How to Play:

Players navigate and choose between different outdoor paths and their corresponding level of difficulty. From there, the player moves along these paths by answering Northern-themed trivia questions. Please choose “We Are Not Alone“ for your charity of choice, and your points will add donation dollars to the campaign.

So Why Play? That’s Easy:

· To help your charity of choice receive a donation from Northern CU (Please choose “We Are Not Alone” for your charity of choice)
· To get the highest score (it is a lot of fun, don’t you know)
· To showcase your Northern pride and knowledge of the North

Emotional Coaching

Children need to feel understood by loved ones before they can accept comfort, support and redirection. This feeling of being understood by loved ones also helps children to understand and accept themselves. The way we respond to our children’s painful experiences will go a very long way in the development of emotional regulation and self-esteem.
