FORT WASHINGTON, Penn.–TruMark Financial Credit Union’s Building Financial Futures Golf Classic helped to raise funds for financial education in our area. With more than 120 golfers, the event raised more than $56,000 to support local schools in need of personal finance resources.
In addition to 18 holes of scramble golf tournament play, competitors tested their skills at the following contests: putting, closest to the pin, and men’s and women’s longest drive. In the hole in one competition, participants had the opportunity to win $10,000. Golfers connected with colleagues, enjoyed good food, and bid on silent auction items.
Financial education remains a priority at TruMark Financial, the credit union said. Funds raised provide grants to area schools so they may purchase materials to teach the basics of money management. Learning about saving, budgeting, and credit helps students make informed financial decisions and guides them to a future of financial success.
