Eglin FCU launches cruise giveaway for America’s 250th celebration

Eglin Federal Credit Union will mark America's 250th birthday with in-branch festivities July 1-2 and a two-month giveaway for a Caribbean cruise vacation.

Eglin Federal Credit Union is inviting the community to celebrate America’s 250th birthday with in-branch festivities and a summer giveaway offering a chance to win a cruise vacation.

  • The celebration begins July 1 and July 2, when each branch will offer complimentary cookies and patriotic-themed swag.

From July 1 through Aug. 31, Eglin FCU will host its “Cruise on in for America’s 250th Celebration Giveaway,” giving the public a chance to win a five-day, four-night cruise vacation for two to Mexico, the Bahamas or the western Caribbean. Twelve winners, one per branch, will be randomly selected in a drawing.

Entries can be submitted in person at any Eglin FCU branch, with a limit of one entry per person per day. Participants must be 21 or older to enter.

“This is a special opportunity for us to celebrate our country’s history while connecting with the communities we serve,” said Laura Coale, senior vice president of marketing and public relations. “We’re excited to provide a memorable experience for our members, welcome prospective members into our full-service locations, and give everyone a chance to win an unforgettable vacation.”
