FULTON – Oswego County Federal Credit Union (OCFCU) has signed on as a Silver Level sponsor for Oswego County Opportunities (OCO) Virtual Trivia Contest.
Scheduled for Thursday, May 20, beginning at 6 p.m., OCO’s Virtual Trivia Contest offers teams of up to 10 people the chance to enjoy some friendly competition as they pool their trivia knowledge to answer questions on a wide range of topics such as history, sports, geography, entertainment and much more. The contest will consist of four rounds of questions.
OCO’s Virtual Trivia Contest serves as a fundraiser to support the agency’s Opportunities for All initiative aimed at fighting poverty and empowering individuals and families to help themselves and to help each other.
While the COVID-19 pandemic posed many challenges, OCO rose to the occasion and has continued to provide services, uninterrupted, throughout the pandemic.
“Over the past year COVID has caused the cancellation of countless events and activities, including our in-person fundraising events,” said OCO Development Coordinator Bridget Dolbear. “However the pandemic has not cancelled poverty in our communities. In the past year many of our programs experienced an increase in the need for services. We’re anticipating that our Virtual Trivia Contest will help raise some much needed funds to offset the effect the pandemic has had on our fundraising efforts and the increased demand for our services. Our Virtual Trivia Contest promises to be great fun for a great cause.”
Whether you’re missing your weekly trivia night out, or just want to have some COVID-free fun with family and friends, OCO’s Virtual Trivia Contest is the answer.
Registration information for OCO’s Virtual Trivia Contest is available at www.oco.org. Registration fee is $30 per person with a maximum of 10 people per team. Individuals are also welcome and will be placed with other individuals to form a team. Each team can purchase up to four “mulligans” to use for the evening, one per round for each of the four rounds. Registration includes drawings for door prizes and prizes for the winning team and first runner-up.

Did you know that OCO is celebrating its 55th Anniversary? Fifty Five years ago, OCO was officially incorporated as the county’s “Economic Opportunity” agency (now referred to as Community Action Agency). The agency was “born” as a result of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” and while the words have changed slightly over time, OCO’s mission has stayed true to empowering people, supporting the community and changing lives…particularly for those who lack resources to thrive.
