Oxford FCU Shines a Light on the Class of 2021

Oxford FCU wants to help celebrate the Class of 2021 in a unique way—by putting the names of graduates ‘up in lights’ on the roadside signs at their Mexico and Norway locations.

“Last spring, we created the Senior Spotlights as a special way to recognize the many graduating students who wouldn’t be having their typical, long-awaited graduation day,” said Lisa Marston, Oxford FCU’s Marketing Director. “Maine Credit Unions happened to be doing a push for donations for the Campaign for Ending Hunger at the same time, so I thought why not combine the two.”

In 2020, Oxford FCU raised $1,200 for the Campaign with nearly 80 spotlights. For 2021, the fundraiser will work the same way. For a minimum donation of $10, Oxford FCU will display the name of a senior, along with their school logo or mascot, on their road signs on a rotating basis. The spotlights will begin showcasing seniors on June 1 and run through June 18.

“Oxford FCU is excited to celebrate the Class of 2021 in this way and the money raised will help ensure Maine families continue receiving the food they need,” shared Marston.
