Alive Credit Union is proud to sponsor the second annual Trash Art Competition at the Greater Jacksonville Fair, a creative endeavor that promotes environmental awareness and community well-being. This unique event challenges participants to transform recycled materials into stunning works of art, reinforcing the vital message that sustainability plays a crucial role in our overall wellness.

Using recycled materials not only showcases the artistic talents within our community but also highlights the importance of reducing waste and taking a more sustainable approach to daily life. It's a reflection of our commitment to Inspire Financial Wellness, as we believe that financial health and environmental well-being go hand in hand.

The competition features two age categories, catering to the creativity of both our younger and more experienced artists. We encourage everyone to visit the exhibit at the Greater Jacksonville Fair, running now through November 12th, to witness the incredible art pieces and be inspired by the transformative power of recycling. Together, we can make a positive impact on our community's wellness and environmental consciousness.

After careful planning and dedication, Alive has made a splash on Action News Jax! With our bright tagline “Bank Healthier. Live Happier.” juxtaposed on white at the top of the action news website as well as in sidebar advertisements, marketing and leadership are working to spread the word about our credit union in the Jacksonville community!

In addition to our big splash on the Action News website, you may also see our commercial spot on the local channels, CBS 47 and Fox 30. This commercial stars many of our celebrity coworkers including Dani from Contact Center, Andre and Glenn from IT, Maria in Reception, Rachel in Administration, Lisa and Dylan from Member Service, and Cecilia from Loans. A big round of applause for these stars for stepping up and assisting the credit union in creating this commercial and a standing ovation to Christian, our Marketing & Business Development Manager for making it happen. The commercial shares how Alive does more for our members with multiple checking account options, savings dividends, and our financial education services.
