EPEFCU Donates to the Candlelighters of El Paso

As a local organization, El Paso Employees FCU is constantly looking for ways to support its community. The Celebration of Lights brought with it an opportunity for the credit union to partner up with the city of El Paso and help improve a renowned El Paso tradition.

As the traditional festivities turned 75, EPEFCU ensured that its anniversary would be celebrated with an all new fireworks and laser light show, and a majestic float carrying Mr. and Mrs. Claus during the night’s parade.

To commemorate the event, EPEFCU created a limited edition ornament which was sold at each of the credit union’s eight locations as well as the Candlelighters of El Paso offices. One hundred percent of the proceeds raised were then donated to an organization that also recognizes the importance of being able to help the members of its community.

Candlelighters queen and spokesperson, Jeanne Osborne, was present to accept the $795.00 check for the organization that has done so much for both her and her family. Osborne was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia but is doing well. She recently celebrated her 5^th birthday and is and animal lover who has big dreams of one day becoming a veterinarian.
