POTTSTOWN, Penn.–The 14th annual Diamond Credit Union Charity Golf Invitational raised $37,000 at Golden Oaks Golf Club. The tournament benefited the American Cancer Society.
The donation to the American Cancer Society was a Diamond tournament record and brings the credit union’s lifetime donation to $371,401 for the event. Since partnering with the American Cancer Society, Diamond’s golf tournament, and additional year-round fundraising events, have generated nearly $850,000 in donations.
“The record-setting donation would not have been possible without the tremendous support from the many members, vendors, partners, volunteers, friends and family that support this tournament,” said John Faust, president and CEO of Diamond Credit Union. “We thank them for making this tradition a lot of fun and impactful to so many who rely on the American Cancer Society.”
Led by title sponsor E.R. Stuebner Construction, a great mix of new and long-time Diamond members, vendors, and partners made the record-setting donation possible with their generous contributions. Funds were raised through greens fees, raffle prize donations, and sponsorships.
Several tees and greens were sponsored by families in memory of, and in honor of, loved ones who have battled or defeated cancer.
The Diamond Credit Union Charity Golf Invitational volunteer team is chaired by Jim Daly, VP/Chief Information Officer, and Todd Rothenberger, Sr. VP/Chief Retail Delivery and Marketing Officer.
