On Saturday, June 22, COUNTRY participated in a community-wide #Juneteenth celebration hosted by the City of Bloomington, IL and the Bloomington-Normal Black History Project. Among entertainment, performances, vendors, and food trucks, COUNTRY staffed a booth at the job fair. “It was a privilege to be able to celebrate Juneteenth, represent COUNTRY, and live out the COUNTRY vision of enriching lives in the communities we serve—all at the same time,” said Lois She-Tom, FCAS.

It was a wonderful event! Really a joy to be a small part of it and to feed into the positive spirit and community that could be felt as you walked the event and interacted with passionate vendors of all kinds. Loved seeing the joy on peoples’ faces who were there to celebrate this important moment in American history.
It was great seeing you out there!
Thank you so much for participating! We are lucky to have companies like COUNTRY Financial®, with such great commitment to community, right here in Bloomington!
