PLYMOUTH, Mich., March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When a job is well done, a common sign of approval is a thumbs up.  Now, Community Financial Credit Union is offering the community a chance to give a collective thumbs up and $25,000 to its favorite charities.

From March 5 through March 30, Community Financial will be accepting nominations from individuals sharing which charitable organization deserve a "Thumbs Up" and a donation in recognition of the good work it does in the community.

"The nonprofit groups in our communities do an amazing job and we are proud to support them throughout the year," said Bill Lawton, Community Financial president/CEO.
