FORT WASHINGTON, Penn. —TruMark Financial Credit Union’s “Building Financial Futures Golf Classic” attracted a sold-out slate of 120 golfers and raised more than $37,000 to benefit local schools’ financial literacy programs.
In addition to 18 holes of scramble golf tournament play, competitors tested their skills at putting, closest to the pin, golferoo, and men’s and women’s longest drive. In the hole in one competition, participants had the opportunity to win $10,000.
“We appreciate the tremendous support from our sponsors, employees, vendors, credit union colleagues, and guests who attended the event and joined us in our mission to provide grants for local schools in need of personal finance resources,” said Richard F. Stipa, TruMark Financial’s chief executive officer.
Financial education remains a priority at TruMark Financial. 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.
