Suncoast Credit Union Expands Partnership with Osceola Magic
with New “Magic Buckets for the Community” Program
10 Central Florida Nonprofits to Compete for Funds Throughout the Season

KISSIMMEE, FLA. (November 20, 2024) — Suncoast Credit Union, Florida's largest credit union, announces the return of its "Magic Buckets" program with the Osceola Magic, rebranded this season as “Magic Bucks for the Community.” This season, 10 local nonprofits from Central Florida will participate in the program, with two nonprofits competing each month for votes to secure a portion of the funds.

For every point scored by the Osceola Magic, Suncoast will donate $5 or $10 per point, depending on the game schedule, up to $5,000 per month. Each month, two nonprofit organizations will engage the community in a friendly competition for votes on Suncoast Credit Union’s Facebook page. The percentage of votes each nonprofit receives will determine the portion of the donation they will receive.

In November, the competing nonprofits are Foster Grants & Giving and the YMCA of Central Florida.

“Supporting local nonprofits is one of the most effective ways we can enhance the strength and well-being of our communities,” said Kevin Johnson, President and CEO, Suncoast Credit Union. “This program provides an opportunity to drive meaningful change by bringing together fans, organizations, and the community in a collective effort to create a lasting impact.”

Suncoast expanded into Central Florida last year, opening three new branches in the region.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Suncoast Credit Union through the ‘Magic Buckets for the Community’ program,” said Hans Steinbrenner, President, Osceola Magic. “This initiative not only supports local nonprofits but also empowers our fans to play an active role in creating positive change. It’s a true reflection of how sports can bring people together to make a meaningful difference in the community.”
