Beacon Credit Union kicks off annual charity drive

Jun. 30—Voting for Beacon Credit Union's Project Spotlight will kick off Friday, running through July 31.

Everyone in the community is encouraged to vote for their favorite cause either online at www.beaconcu.org or in their local Beacon Member Center. Each individual may vote once per day per community. Last year, Project Spotlight received over 60,000 votes in the one month period. Nominations were taken earlier this spring via member center and online submissions.

Project Spotlight is a program created by Beacon Credit Union with the hope that individuals and organizations would be inspired to reach out and serve those living and working around them. There will be winners from all 13 communities where Beacon Credit Union has a full-service Member Center.

The project that receives the most votes, in each community, will receive $1,000 from Beacon Credit Union. Second place will receive $500, and there will be a third place in each community randomly picked to receive $250. The total amount of money donated to charitable organizations by Beacon Credit Union through Project Spotlight will be $22,750.
