HOUSTON, TX (April 18, 2013) – The Houston Chapter of Credit Unions continues to raise funds for children’s charities. On Monday, April 15, 2013, forty-one (41) credit unions and business partners participated in the Chapter’s annual Golf Tournament at Tour 18 Golf Course in the Houston area. Over one hundred and twenty (128) people participated in the event, raising $26,000 for children’s charities.
T. Scott Kreinbring, Executive Vice-President at PrimeWay FCU and event organizer explains that “the Houston Chapter of Credit Unions holds this golf tournament every year to benefit children’s charities in the Houston area. As this is very rewarding work, I feel fortunate I was able to play an active role in helping this year. I cannot say enough about the generosity of local area credit unions and their vendors. Watching their eagerness to give back to the local communities we serve made my job simple. I am incredibly proud to be part of the credit union industry.”
All participants enjoyed the tournament knowing the funds support children in need. One participant, Brian Ellis, Vice-President at InvesTex CU and HCCU Ad Coop committee member stated “although my golf game isn’t where it was when playing in high school golf tournaments, I’m happy to participate in the Chapter’s golf event. It’s definitely a worthy cause, all had fun, and Mr. Kreinbring and his staff did another outstanding job running the event. Next year, let’s build on this success to do even more.”
The golf tournament is one of many efforts the Chapter supports the community and enhances the quality of life in the Greater Houston Area. The Houston Chapter of Credit Unions provides a collaborative environment for credit union professionals and volunteers to receive education, leadership development, and grow credit union community influence. The Houston Chapter is comprised of over 100 credit unions in the Houston metropolitan area.
