Credit Union Community Hope Initiative raises $30K for the homeless

August 17 was a great day for golf and for credit unions to show their generosity as the Massachusetts Credit Union League’s Community Hope Initiative held its annual golf tournament to benefit the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless. The tournament attracted 103 golfers to the Juniper Hill Golf Course in Northborough for fun and fundraising on a beautiful summer day.

The team from STCU Credit Union and Winbrook took the First Place award and the team from Harvard University Employees Credit Union and Medical Area Federal Credit Union took the Second Place award. Bob Delaney from Members Insurance Agency, LLC took the honors for the men’s most accurate drive and Cheryl Gorman from Harvard University Employees Credit Union had the most accurate drive for the ladies. Closest to the pin honors were shared by Tom Nemeczky from Enterprise Car Sales, Dave Dewitt from Digital Federal Credit Union, Bob Delaney from Members Insurance Agency, LLC, and Peter Buchanan from Harvard University Employees Credit Union.

Digital Federal Credit Union and Members Plus Credit Union displayed their commitment to the cause by sponsoring the tournament awards barbeque. Harvard University Employees Credit Union won the prize for fielding the largest number of golfers on the course (10 golfers) as well as contributing for the Hit The Green Sponsorship.

At the awards banquet, the golfers heard from Robyn Frost, executive director of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless. Robyn expressed the Coalition’s sincere appreciation for the continued support that the credit union community in Massachusetts has shown the Coalition and the Commonwealth’s homeless families. Her update on the efforts of the Coalition to fight homelessness was enlightening.
