Baton Rouge, LA – After the overwhelming excitement of last year’s free car giveaway, Pelican Credit Union is bringing it back for summer 2026. This year, one Pelican member will win a brand-new 2026 Honda CR‑V, continuing Pelican’s commitment to rewarding membership in meaningful, life‑changing ways.
Entries will be accepted throughout the month of June, with the lucky winner announced in July 2026.
Last year, Pelican made headlines by surprising Terrance Beauregard, a member from Pineville, La, with a new Honda CR‑V, proving that big wins really do happen at a credit union (view video). This summer, Pelican is ready to do the same for another member.
“At Pelican, giving back isn’t a campaign. It’s who we are,” said Jeff Conrad, CEO of Pelican Credit Union. “Our members trust us with their financial lives, and we never take that lightly. This giveaway is about celebrating them, supporting them, and reminding our communities that it truly pays to be a Pelican member.”
As a not‑for‑profit credit union, Pelican is intentionally built to return value to its members, not shareholders. From king cakes and grocery giveaways to cash for good grades and life changing moments like giving away a free car, Pelican continues to invest directly in the people and communities it serves across Louisiana.
All Pelican members are eligible to enter for a chance to win the 2026 Honda CR‑V during the month of June by visiting pelicancu.com/newride.
