Heritage Trust Federal Credit Union Hosts 10th
Annual Golf Tournament for Charity
On Friday, April 4th
, Heritage Trust Federal Credit Union hosted their 10th
Annual
Charity Golf Tournament at The Golf Club at Wescott Plantation in Summerville to
benefit the American Cancer Society. The event raises community awareness and
helps fund better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer. This year’s tournament
raised $12,000.
Over 50 players joined local businesses and industry
leaders to show their support through personal donations
and corporate sponsorships. “Heritage Trust has been a
longtime supporter of the American Cancer Society and
the Relay for Life event. The Annual Charity Golf
Tournament is our way of raising funds to help combat this
terrible disease that has impacted so many lives,”
commented Heritage Trust President/CEO, Jim McDaniel.
“I am proud and thankful for all of the sponsors who
eagerly answered our call for action this year. At Heritage
Trust, we believe strongly in giving back to the
communities we serve and are looking forward to next
year’s golf outing and the opportunity to do more in the
fight against cancer.”
Golfers from across the Lowcountry
participated in the golf outing.
Cindy Young, Heritage Trust VP of Support Services commented, “My family and I have
been participating in the Relay for Life since 2001. This is a fun, well-planned event that
offers our community the opportunity to rally together and raise money for a wonderful
cause. I have had many family members and friends that have been affected by cancer
and this is one way I can contribute my time to support them and my local community.”
Funds raised at the tournament, as well
as through other fundraising efforts held
throughout the year, will be donated to
the American Cancer Society at their
signature event, the Relay For Life, on
April 25th
. Relay for Life is a yearly
celebration that raises money and public
awareness in the fight against cancer.
