Beacon Credit Union kicks off 14th annual Project Spotlight

Thursday, June 27, 2024 at 9:02 AM

Beacon Credit Union’s Project Spotlight kicks off on Monday, and voting continues through July 31.

The credit union encourages everyone in the community to vote for their favorite cause either online or in their local Beacon Member Center.

Each individual may vote once per day per community. After voting, the public may share to Facebook or X (formerly known as Twitter) and encourage others to vote for their favorite organization.

Last year’s Project Spotlight received more than 37,000 votes in the one-month period.

Beacon Credit Union received more than 120 nominations earlier this spring via member center and online submissions.

The credit union created the Project Spotlight program to help shine a light and bring awareness to the many local charitable organizations making a difference in communities. The credit union will pick winners from all 13 communities where the Beacon full-service member centers are located.

The project in each community with the most votes will win $1,000 from Beacon Credit Union. The second place winner will receive $500, and a third place winner will be randomly drawn to receive $250. The total amount of money donated to charitable organizations in Indiana by Beacon Credit Union through Project Spotlight in 2024 will be $22,750.
