BATON ROUGE, LA (October 22, 2024) — Neighbors FCU held their annual Clays for a Cause sporting clays tournament Friday, October 18th, 2024 at Riverside Sporting Clays. Teams from regional businesses competed to raise money for the Neighbors Capital Area Foundation.
Teams competed in a 100-shot course. David Smith, Troy Soileau, Landon Turner, and Damon Spears won first place and a $600 cash prize. The second-place team from Loomis donated their $400 cash prize back to the Neighbors Capital Area Foundation, while A+ Lawn Care won 3rd place and a $200 cash prize.
This event would not have been possible without our generous sponsors, who contributed a total of $21,850. Special thanks go to Fiserv, Grand Construction, and Enterprise who contributed $2,500 as Sharpshooter sponsors.
Proceeds from this event benefit the Neighbors Capital Area Foundation’s scholarship program, the Neighbors Way Tuition Assistance Award. To date, the Foundation has granted over $297,000 in scholarships to 99 students in the Greater Baton Rouge Area.
The Neighbors Capital Area Foundation was created to support education-focused & community-driven initiatives in the greater Baton Rouge area. As we grow our initiatives, we seek to become an invaluable educational resource to underserved individuals and groups in our service community through scholarships, grants, and volunteer efforts.

About Neighbors Federal Credit Union
Neighbors Federal Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative operating as an association dedicated to "people helping people." A handful of educators started Baton Rouge Teachers in 1954 with a shoe box, a couple hundred dollars and the goal of making financial services available to school system employees in our area.
Now, Neighbors Federal Credit Union is the largest community-chartered credit union in the state of Louisiana with over 80,000 members and over $1 billion in assets. Since that time, Neighbors has undergone a variety of changes, but the mission has stayed the same: Enhance members' financial well-being and be a partner in the communities Neighbors serves.
