MARLBOROUGH, Mass.– The New Hampshire Credit Unions, the largest corporate partner of Make-A-Wish New Hampshire, donated $150,000 at the Annual Richard D. Mahoney Charity Golf Tournament.
More than 120 golfers, representing New Hampshire Credit Unions, their business partners, and members of the Cooperative Credit Union Association (CCUA), were all smiles as they gathered for the first time in over 15 months at the Candia Woods Golf Links in Candia, N.H.
New Hampshire Social Responsibility Committee Chairman Brian Hughes, president/CEO of HRCU, Rochester, N.H., recognized the dedication of the credit unions, noting that in 2020 the credit unions’ donations surpassed the $3 million milestone.
That stellar achievement was acknowledged during a virtual presentation. Hughes presented the $150,000 check, which brings the organization’s 25-year total to more than $3.2 million raised for wishes.
Hughes thanked the members of the New Hampshire Social Responsibility Committee, saying the achievement is “attributed to all of you and the efforts you make every day to support Make-A-Wish is a true collaboration by all. We are honored and grateful to be part of a cause with a mission that follows that of credit unions…people helping people.”
Added, Cooperative Credit Union Association President/CEO Ron McLean, “The New Hampshire Credit Unions share a common commitment in making dreams come true for many children in the state. Brian and the Social Responsibility Committee’s effort in achieving this year’s donation is an indication of the level of commitment from the credit unions, their members and business partners. Through the toughest of times from this pandemic, you have stood strong together for those who face their toughest challenges every day, the children of Make-A-Wish New Hampshire.”
