“Mississippi Federal Credit Union is proud to support the Lafayette County Literacy Council by sponsoring the Touchdowns & Tailgates raffle,” said Jeff Kilgore, director of business development for Mississippi Federal Credit Union. “The Council is such an important organization within the LOU community and we are thrilled to collaborate with them to promote literacy. When we as a community advocate literacy, we are advocating education, opportunity  and a better quality of life.”

Tickets cost $5 and there is no limit to the number of tickets that a person can buy. Tickets can be purchased at Mississippi Federal Credit Union at 1101 Jackson Avenue (in front of the Jackson Avenue Center), in the Ole Miss Student Union, or the Jackson branch on the University Medical Center Campus.

The Lafayette County Literacy Council’s mission is to improve the quality of life in Oxford and Lafayette County through literacy and reading. Its core programs are the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, ABLE and the Children’s Book Festival. In 2014, the Council gave more than 10,500 books to local children, taught nearly 600 parents why and how to read to their children from birth, and launched ABLE, a much-needed literacy and GED preparation program for adults.
