SUITLAND, Md. – Andrews Federal Credit Union celebrated the start of the school year with a “high-energy” Back-to-School Bash at the site of its under-development Fort Washington branch. The event united local families, students, and community members for an afternoon of fun, support, and school preparation, the credit union said.
The event welcomed more than 300 guests. Families in attendance received free school supply giveaways, including backpacks, which the credit union collected through a Back To School drive at its many branches throughout the region.
Guests were able to enjoy family-friendly games, refreshments, and interactive activities. Talent from Radio One WKYS also energized the crowd with a live, on-site broadcast.
The celebration aimed to help families gear up for the upcoming academic year while creating greater awareness for the new Fort Washington branch.
“The incredible turnout at the Fort Washington Back To School Bash is an exciting indication of things to come,” COO Damita Robinson said in a statement. “The families who joined us for the Back To School Bash are the future of our communities, and it’s a privilege to help ensure another successful year of education for them.”
This new branch, currently under development and slated to open during fall 2025, is the credit union’s fourth location in Prince George’s County, Md. The credit union team said it is planning additional events to strengthen relationships in the area, including a grand opening/community day celebration scheduled for later this fall.
