UTFCU is happy to announce the first 10 winners in our UTFCU Rocks contest!

He pulled out Paris Wade‘s registration form from the many entries. In addition, we’ve also drawn the first 9 of the 20 available student season ticket vouchers.

Wow, things have really been busy around here! Today’s post is a continuation of the last one, where we mentioned some of the exciting events we’ve been lucky enough to be a part of. Since the last post, we’ve climbed rock walls, met tons of new people at a second U Nite 4 Rock event, hosted autograph sessions with Heather Harrington at two of our branches, and been able to show off our new tent at the Orange Nation BBQ party. You can view pictures of most of these events by going to our Flickr group page. We’ve also been carrying our trusty Flip video cameras with us everywhere we go to grab footage of people singing Rocky Top for a chance to win football ticket vouchers and music download cards. If you haven’t looked at the contest page in a while, now is a good time to head over there. We have over 60 entries with more coming in every day!

The beginning of the Fall semester is a busy time for everyone, including us. In the past several days, we’ve been on campus at various locations and events talking about the benefits of becoming a member of UT Federal Credit Union, encouraging you to sing Rocky Top for a chance to win a Wii, and inviting you to Guitar Hero night at the the Mellow Mushroom. If we’ve missed you, don’t worry, there are still plenty of chances to have fun and learn more about UTFCU. We’re hosting another Guitar Hero night along with two tailgate parties and several other exciting events, which you can learn more about by visiting our online calendar. Feel free to take a look at what we’ve been up to.
If you haven’t already heard, UTFCU is proud to be the official bank of Orange Nation! Our new partnership allows us to support UT students and athletics by providing monetary resources to the organization along with several new scholarships for its members.
Read the full press release below:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Knoxville, Tenn. (August 5, 2008) – As the University of Tennessee Volunteers are gearing up for the 2008-2009 season, the Orange Nation is working to coordinate another year of student support and excitement. UT Federal Credit Union (UTFCU) has joined this support network by becoming the “Official Bank of Orange Nation.” The partnership between Orange Nation and UTFCU will provide Orange Nation with additional monetary resources to reach out to students in coordinating the support network counted on by athletes, coaches, and other Volunteer fans when facing another season of fierce SEC competition.
“UT is very important to us, it’s even part of our name,” Debbie Jones, UT Federal Credit Union CEO, said. “As important as athletics are to all of us, the students are our primary reason for entering this partnership. Americans under the age of 25 are filing bankruptcy faster than any other age group. We want to reach out to college students and help them get their financial lives on the right foot.”
According to Daniel Ezelle, Vice President of the Orange Nation, “Orange Nation is delighted to have UT Federal Credit Union facilitate our financial services. Orange Nation’s affiliation with UTFCU has not only granted us with preeminent financial services, it has also allowed UTFCU to offer several scholarships for Orange Nation members.”
UTFCU is doing far more than sponsoring Orange Nation as it reaches out to the student population this year. “We have several special events planned in the coming months,” adds Malinda Wood, UT Federal Credit Union Marketing Manager. “Tailgate parties are planned for the first two home football games, we’ve designed an interactive student oriented web site (UTFCU-ROCKS.COM), hosting Guitar Hero and ‘Sing Rocky Top’ events, and we’re giving away free music cards, a Nintendo Wii, 20 UT student football season ticket vouchers, and much more.”
