PARSIPPANY, N.J.–Garden Savings Federal Credit Union raised more than $16,000 for two local charitable groups at its 7th Annual Golf Outing. The outing was attended by nearly 100 credit union professionals and industry business partners. The proceeds will be split between the Children’s Specialized Hospital of New Brunswick and the Rutgers Youth Education and Success Center (YE2S Center) of Newark.
“When we first came up with this idea to do a benefit golf outing back in 2011, we never anticipated that its popularity would grow this much,” said Garden Savings President and Chief Executive Officer, Lou Vetere. “Seven years later we have more than doubled our contribution amounts to these wonderful organizations and we are very grateful to all of the support we receive from our sponsors that enables us to make these significant donations. The YE2S Center and Children’s Specialized Hospital both do great things in the community to help people that need it most and that’s in line with the overall mission of our credit union as well. We look forward to another fun and successful outing in 2018.”
