Florida Credit Union sponsors high school football season coverage

Florida Credit Union Maricamp branch

Our community of readers owes a debt of gratitude and patronage to Florida Credit Union for helping underwrite the cost of the Ocala Gazette’s coverage of this year’s high school football season.

When we were scratching our heads on how to fund the considerable cost of coverage for high school sports this season, which starts with high school football, we reached out to key advertisers to explain the dilemma.  Florida Credit Union stepped up in a big way to help ensure no lapse in coverage regarding this season’s high school football.

What does this mean? It means the Gazette will report on high school football this year without a paywall. This means anyone who wants to stay in touch with their favorite team can without a barrier.

It also means that any school, family member, or athlete can reproduce the photos taken by our award-winning photojournalist, Bruce Ackerman.

When businesses like Florida Credit Union support local journalism, they give our community the gift of connectivity that lasts long after the season is over through newspaper clippings and photographic mementos documenting the wins and losses that no doubt help shape the characters of our next generation.

With deep gratitude,
