To let everyone know that BECU now serves everyone who lives, works, or goes to school in our 5-county area, we thought we could use donations to make a big impact on the people in our community. Choosing a cause that represents our community and membership is a difficult task, so we thought that letting the members suggest who should receive money was the best course of action. The members own the credit union, and entering their favorit nonprofit is just one of the many ways they can show it. Four winners will be selected throughout 2010.
There will be four Grand Prize winners selected throughout 2010. The first award will be given in April, and the last in December. Every entry will be considered for every available award, so the sooner you enter, the better your chances of winning! Rules, terms and conditions
Every entrant must be a member at the time of entry, and the time of award. If you have friends or family who would like to support their favorite charity, encourage them to become members of BECU and enter! Anyone who lives, works, worships, or goes to school in the five counties of Bradley, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, and Polk are eligible to be members of BECU.
