SAN DIEGO–Mission Fed Credit Union has partnered with the California Interscholastic Federation San Diego Section to (CIFSDS) to support education-based athletics.
The partnership is integral to the organization’s mission to give back to its local community, partnering with local schools and nonprofits to support education for all.
The official announcement took place at the Barnes Tennis Center. Attendees included Neville Billimoria, Mission Fed SVP-membership/marketing and chief advocacy officer; CIFSDS commissioner Joe Heinz, CIFSDS team representative Ron Marquez, and Open Division Final Tournament Director Kevin Brown. The event was followed with the CIFSDS Co-Ed Tennis Open Division Championships.
“As an organization birthed in education ourselves, it is an honor to co- mission of CIFSDS and education- based athletics, and create winners both on and off the field,” said Billimoria. “Mission Fed was built on the commitment of earning trust and caring for our local San Diego community by giving back. We have proudly been doing so for 60 years.”
The CIFSDS is committed to preparing student-athletes for a better tomorrow and to working with students, educators, parents, and communities to establish and maintain excellent high school athletic programs that teach values, character, and citizenship. The CIF was created in 1914 and is the governing body for high school sports in the state of California. CIF is uniquely positioned to foster student growth in values and ethics. CIF’s ideal of “Pursuing Victory with Honor,” provides the opportunity to influence the actions of the athletic community.
Mission Fed will also be supporting CIF’s All-Academic teams and scholar athletes. The purpose of the All-Academic Teams and San Diego Section Scholars is to honor students who excel not only athletically, but academically as well. The programs recognize some of the very brightest students in San Diego and Imperial Counties. All academic teams honor the athletes in each sport that compile the highest, combined unweighted grade point average in their region of the CIF San Diego Section.
