MSUFCU member Elizabeth DaFoe was the grand prize winner in MSUFCU’s Ideal Room Makeover Contest.
EAST LANSING, MI—MSUFCU’s Ideal Room Makeover Contest offered MSUFCU members the opportunity to enter to win a complete room makeover, plus $1,000 toward the winner’s MSUFCU Visa Credit Card. Contest entrants submitted applications with personal statements about why MSUFCU should select them to win a room makeover along with a photograph of the room that could most use renovation.
Elizabeth DaFoe of DeWitt, MI, was selected from eighty entrants as the grand prize winner. DaFoe received new furniture, flooring, window treatments, and lighting courtesy of Christensen’s Furniture and O’Leary Interiors. Kelly Patterson of Brookline, MA, was selected as the out-of-state contest winner and received $1,000 toward her MSUFCU Visa Credit Card.
Four entrants who were not selected as winners in the first phase of the Ideal Room Makeover Contest received a second opportunity to win. Three entrants were featured on MSUFCU’s website, and members were able to vote for the runner-up winners. These winners all received money toward their MSUFCU Visa Credit Cards: Marie Rea won $750, Jenelle Schneider won $500, and Dereck Wellspeigel won $250. An additional “second-chance” winner, Jessica McNally, was randomly selected from all entrants to win $1,000 toward her MSUFCU Visa Credit Card.
Patrick McPharlin, MSUFCU’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “MSUFCU’s Ideal Room Makeover Contest received a terrific response from our members and our community. We are happy to provide this opportunity to enhance some of our members’ homes and create better living spaces for their families.
