TUCSON, Ariz.– Tucson Federal Credit Union (TFCU) has announced a $5,000 sponsorship of the 2025 Winterhaven Festival of Lights, serving as the official Volunteer T-Shirt Sponsor for this year’s event.
The sponsorship ensures volunteers are well-supported and easily identified as they welcome the more than 200,000 residents and visitors who experience the Festival each holiday season, the credit union said.
As a financial cooperative founded and headquartered in Tucson, TFCU continues its long-standing commitment to investing in local institutions, cultural traditions, and events that bring the community together.
“For generations, Winterhaven has been one of Tucson’s most joyful and unifying traditions—something families look forward to all year,” President and CEO Matthew E. Gaspari said in a statement. “Supporting this festival is part of our responsibility and pride as a local credit union. We’re here to uplift the community that shaped us, and we’re honored to stand alongside the volunteers who make the magic happen.”
Winterhaven volunteers assist with guest guidance, collection of donations for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, accessibility support, lost-and-found, shuttle coordination, and nightly operations. TFCU’s sponsorship provides direct support to the teams helping maintain safety, hospitality, and the welcoming spirit the Festival is known for.
