ATHENS, WV – Charleston based company, Element Federal Credit Union has become a sponsor of Concord University’s Esports Program, beginning with a check presentation in the amount of $10,000 on August 1st. The two-year agreement includes another $6,000 to be given in sponsorship funds during fiscal year 2025-26.

As a financial cooperative dedicated to entrepreneurship, innovation, financial empowerment, and community development, we believe these elements are crucial in transforming opportunities for youth.
