Lorillard Federal Credit Union (LFCU) received an honorable mention for community service at the 71st annual meeting of the North Carolina Credit Union League in Pinehurst. LFCU received a plaque for the showing in its asset category in the Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Award competition. The recognition came as part of a special banquet held June 12th.

The annual Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Award recognizes and promotes credit unions’ social responsibility efforts within the communities they serve. Credit unions enter the program in separate asset categories, which allows them to compete fairly against credit unions of equal size and resources. LFCU competed in the $5 to $20 million-asset category, winning statewide recognition for the third year in a row. 

In selecting LFCU, the committee saluted the commitment of the credit union to raising charitable funds through its annual golf tournament. Since starting the tournament in 1993, Lorillard has raised more than $87,000 for Duke Children's Hospital and Prevent Child Abuse.
