People First Federal Credit Union held its annual Golf Classic on September 26, 2022 at Northampton Country Club to raise money for three local non-profits. This is the 12th year that the Credit Union has held the fundraiser. Led by the People First Board of Directors, the fundraiser has benefitted multiple charities in the region over the years including most recently, The Children's Home of Easton, Tails of Valor, Haven House and LifePath.
This year, People First raised a record amount with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity of the Lehigh Valley, The Literacy Center, and Battle Borne. The Board of Directors votes on the charities that align with the Credit Union’s four key pillars for community engagement: Human Services, Youth Development and Education, Health including Mental Health, and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility.
“We’re always looking to build, strengthen and lift the communities we serve. We do that in many ways, including our annual charity golf classic,” said Howard Meller, President/CEO of People First. “It’s all part of our mission to do everything we can for our community and be outstanding corporate citizens.”
The Golf Classic was attended by 97 golfers. Co-Title sponsors were Allied Solutions, Gallagher, Interface and Strategic Resource Management. Prizes were awarded to the top three teams, as well as for the longest and straightest drives, the “Pot of Gold” closest shot to the pin, and the annual Hole-in-One contest.
