Giving back to our communities is a core focus at MC Federal Credit Union. Each year, MC hosts a charity golf tournament to benefit local causes in the areas they serve. The 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament was held on Friday, June 21, 2024, at Knoebels Three Ponds Golf Course. They invited their friends within the community to join them in honoring and benefiting three local charities:
- Getting Ahead Foundation: Striving to pull members of our community out of poverty, Getting Ahead shows people how to “get ahead” in a “just getting by world”.
- Agape: Refusing to let good people fall through the cracks, Agape offers a range of programs addressing essential needs such as food, clothing, furniture, and even shelter when certain weather conditions are met.
- Camp Koala: Championing grieving children, Camp Koala provides grief counseling services to children free of charge, knowing loss knows no bounds.
MC hosted many other fundraising events in addition to the golf tournament, including a bus trip to New York City during the holiday season and their 2nd Annual Charity Basket Raffle. Altogether, they raised $35,000.00 to be split amongst the charities to help support each individual mission. MC would like to extend a special thank you to all their sponsors and donors, without whom these events would not have been possible. In addition, MC wants to express their gratitude to all the golfers who were able to join them on the green.
“Our team is driven by a passion for helping others. By hosting these charity events, and partnering with local organizations, we get to see first-hand a positive effect in the communities we serve,” said Elba Arenas, President & CEO of MC Federal Credit Union. “For the fourth year in a row, we have increased the financial impact we were able to distribute to our chosen charities. It is truly an honor to be able to support these charities and all the good they do.”
