California Coast Credit Union launches social media video contest to benefit local schools

East County News Service

April 19, 2016 (San Diego) – California Coast Credit Union, the oldest financial institution based in San Diego, with over $2 billion in assets, has launched a superhero-themed video contest to help raise money

for local schools. The Superhero Video Contest runs from April 1 to July 31 and contestants can win up to $1,500 for a school of their choice located in San Diego or Riverside County, plus $1,500 for themselves.


California Coast Credit Union is challenging members and non-members alike to create a brief video (2 minutes or less) about a super experience they had with California Coast Credit Union. The experience could be anything from saving big with an awesome loan rate, a great in-person interaction at one of Cal Coast’s 20+ local branches, or how Cal Coast helps local charities like Rady Children’s Hospital and the San Diego Humane Society.

To enter, contestants submit their video on the Cal Coast Facebook page, and then share it with family and friends to garner votes. Votes will be tallied at the end of each contest period and the contestant with the most votes during each contest period wins a cash prize, plus a matching cash prize for the school of their choice. Entries will be accepted April 1 through June 30. All entries received by June 30 go on to the Grand Prize round in July. Contestants will compete for $500 each month in April, May and June and a $1,000 Grand Prize in July.

To add to the excitement, all Cal Coast branches have superhero “Selfie Stations” complete with props (Pow! Zap! Boom!) so visitors can join in the fun. Cal Coast also has a Hero Photo Gallery on Facebook showcasing our members and the community interacting with Cal Coast superheroes. For more details and Official Contest Rules, please visit Cal Coast’s Facebook page atwww.facebook.com/CalCoastCU and click on the “Superhero Video Contest” tab.                                  

Established by a handful of San Diego teachers in 1929, the nonprofit California Coast Credit Union is the oldest financial institution based in San Diego. Its founders’ guiding principal is “people helping people.” For more information, visit calcoastcu.org or call (877) 495-1600.
