The Houston Chapter of Credit Unions continues to raise funds for children’s charities with the recent Volleyball Tournament on Saturday, August 18, 2018. The fundraiser included teams from 13 area credit unions with 15 teams participating to raise $9,000. Energy Capital Credit Union’s CEO, Linda Pearsall, served as the tournament director and stated “the games were a whirlwind of plays including spikes, saves, blocks, and a bit of sweat". The Chapter’s annual event was hosted at Willowbrook Sports Complex in Houston, TX benefiting Houston Children’s Charities and the Chapter Disaster Relief Fund. Congratulations to the team winners (pictures on following page):
