Duluth, GA (October 23, 2012) Georgia United Credit Union’s annual Credit Union Paintball Tournament continues to bring in significant dollars to support the Credit Union Political Action Committee (CUPAC) Fund. A popular alternative to a traditional golf tournament fundraiser, the 2012 Georgia United Paintball Challenge raised approximately $8,000, after all expenses.
This was the tenth year that Georgia United has hosted the tournament and has invited other local credit union employees and sponsors to participate. This year’s tournament consisted of 13 teams of 7 players each, competing in a “round robin” elimination tournament for this year’s coveted trophies. The event was held at Paintball Atlanta in Alpharetta on Saturday, October 20.
Warren Butler, Georgia United’s President & CEO, commented, “Each Georgia United Paintball Challenge has proven to be a big success. People love a good competitive game, but it’s even better when you’re playing to raise money for a worthwhile cause. This year was an especially competitive year with only a few points separating the top teams.”
