MOLINE, Ill. (January 13, 2015) - R.I.A. Federal Credit Union has entered the second year of its title sponsorship of the Quad City Mallards' Kids Club and Little Saver program, the Mallards announced today.
R.I.A. has donated better than $1,000 to the savings accounts of young Mallards fans through the Little Saver program. The R.I.A.

The Little Saver is introduced at the start of the game with the Mallards' starting goaltender and R.I.A. Federal Credit Union opens a savings account for the Little Saver and contributes one dollar to that account for each save made by the Mallards' goaltender in that game.
