For over 10 years, Georgia's Own Credit Union has been a loyal and committed sponsor of LEAD Center For Youth, investing more than $1 million into our mission and programs. Today, they stepped up to the plate again—not just with financial support, but with powerful social capital. In honor of National Student-Athlete Day, they’ve recognized L.E.A.D. Ambassador Justice Morrison in a major way. If you’re downtown, look up at 100 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30303—the Georgia’s Own building. That’s Justice’s name and face on the largest video board in the city. We’re extremely proud of Justice and thankful for his parents, Rashad Morrison and Ivy Morrison. Join us in celebrating this moment—snap a photo, share it on social, and keep supporting and praying for L.E.A.D. When L.E.A.D. wins, Atlanta wins. We are Georgia’s Own.

CDs are a great way to save your hard-earned money—rates are high, returns are guaranteed, and they’re a simple savings method. One limitation? If you withdraw money before it matures, you’re typically charged an early withdrawal penalty. Sarah Wicker, our deposit account and IRA services manager, explained why credit unions and banks charge that early withdrawal penalty and what you should consider.
