Global Credit Union Foundation Golf Tournament raises $60,000 for Alaska nonprofits
ANCHORAGE, AK (October 3, 2024) — A mountainous backdrop and beautiful tree-lined fairways set the stage for the Global Credit Union Foundation Fairway Friends Golf Tournament at the Anchorage Golf Course. The July 16 event brought business partners and golfers of every level to raise money for Girl Scouts of Alaska and Operation Homefront. By the end of the day, $60,000 was raised to help these nonprofits continue their work in the community.
“Our annual golf tournament is a great way to help raise money for these vital charities while also having a lot of fun,” said Geoff Lundfelt, President of the Global Credit Union Foundation. “I’d like to extend a special thanks to the credit union’s business partners and our employee volunteers. Their support is critical to our success, and I’m always moved by how enthusiastic they are to help us, year after year.”
$30,000 was given to the Girl Scouts of Alaska, whose mission is to help girls create the world they want to live in and strive to make it better every single day. They explore their strengths, take on new challenges, and can always be themselves, regardless of background or ability.
$30,000 went to Operation Homefront in support of their mission to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities—OUR communities—they have worked so hard to protect.
The Global Credit Union Foundation Fairway Friends Golf Tournament is an annual Foundation event that brings together business partners, credit union leaders and volunteers, and the community to support Foundation nonprofit partners.
