April 27, 2012- Pensacola, Fla. — To celebrate Military Appreciation Month, Pen Air Federal Credit Union is doubling all points earned by Premier Relationship Rewards members, as well as accepting donations to the local USO in hopes of doubling the $5,000 raised by members in May 2011.

When a member makes a donation of any amount to the USO, they will be encouraged to fill out a paper jet to commemorate an active or retired military member, and for an added piece of fun, they will receive Double Bubble bubblegum to coincide with Pen Air FCU’s double points promotion.

Pen Air FCU is also teaming up with TK101/Clear Channel for Cell Phones for Soldiers. Each Pen Air FCU branch with be a drop-off location for used cell phones that equal talking minutes for military overseas to call their loved ones.
