The Annual Dave and Dan Tournament raised more than $380,000 for Children’s Hospitals
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA (August 12, 2013) -- The 13th annual Dave and Dan Celebrity Golf Tournament presented by First Tech Federal Credit Union, raised more than $380,000 for Credit Unions for Kids benefitting Children's Miracle Network hospitals. Over the last 13 years, this event has contributed more than $2.5 million to help children get out of hospital beds and onto the playground. As a result, it has become the top credit union-sponsored event in support of CU4Kids.
Proceeds from this year’s event benefit several children’s hospitals, including Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Sacred Heart Medical Center, Oakland Children’s Hospital and UC Davis Children’s Hospital. Top sponsors include PSCU, CO-OP Financial Services, OnPoint Community Credit Union, Unitus Community Credit Union, CUNA Mutual Group and Northwest Credit Union Association. The tournament, formerly the Hank and Moose Open, was held at the Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club in Aloha, Ore. on July 15, 2013.
“We are grateful to the many corporate sponsors, CUSOs, credit unions, volunteers and friends of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals who helped the Dave and Dan Golf Tournament become the top ranked credit union-sponsored event in support of CU4Kids,” said Greg Mitchell, president and chief executive officer of First Tech Federal Credit Union. “These caring sponsors and supporters aided us in raising more than $380,000 to provide needed care and support to several children’s hospitals. This event once again displayed the heart of the credit union movement and our collective ability to make a profound difference in the lives of others.”
The Dave and Dan Celebrity Golf Tournament, which is named after pro football Hall of Fame inductees Dave Wilcox and Dan Fouts, brings together an expanding celebrity field, including popular baseball legends, NFL players and other special celebrity guests.
