2017 ION Bank Community Awards Program

This entry was posted in Uncategorized on by

The 8th Annual Community Awards Program can help your favorite non-profit earn grant money. The Community Awards Program allows each Ion Bank customer to vote for their favorite non-profit organization to help the Ion Bank Foundation give away $60,000.

New this year – Ion Bank Foundation will donate a minimum amount of $25 to each non-profit organization for every vote received up to $60,000. In previous years, non-profits would need to receive a minimum 1% of total votes to earn any money but we’ve changed the program to allow a reward for every vote!

Voting will take place from February 1 through March 31, 2017. You must be an Ion Bank customer to vote. One vote per customer, however, for accounts with multiple owners, each owner may vote. Customers with multiple accounts may only vote once. Each customer can vote for only one organization. Please vote for Oxford Special Olympics as your favorite non-profit organization.

We are very excited about this giving program and hope you will partner with the Ion Bank Foundation to help us, help local non-profit organizations in our community.


Voting has begun for the 8th Annual Community Awards Program so please help us earn grant money! Ion Bank Foundation will donate a minimum amount of $25 to each non-profit organization for every vote1 received up to $60,000.

Every vote counts! If you are an Ion Bank customer, please visit ionbank.com or an Ion Bank branch to vote until March 31, 2017.

2016 Holiday Party at Colonial Tavern – Friday December 9, 2016 at 7:00 pm

We have created an online signup form for our holiday party – Please fill out the form for EACH PERSON that will be attending the Oxford Special Olympics Holiday Party.
In years past we have had pizza parties to celebrate our accomplishments, but this year we have decided to have the event catered.
There will be no charge to attend, but it will cost Oxford approximately $30 per person.
Please consider your sign up as a commitment to attend, as we will be responsible for the cost regardless.

Please click the link above and signup by December 2, 2016 (we have to give the caterers a head count)

Due to the cost of this party we will be limiting attendance to ACTIVE members of Oxford Special Olympics and their families. That means you must have trained or competed or volunteered with OSO within the past year.
