Each year, MC Federal Credit Union hosts a charity golf tournament to benefit local causes in the areas we serve. The 3^rd Annual Charity Golf Tournament was held on Friday June 23^rd, 2023, at Knoebels Three Ponds Golf Course. We invited our friends within the community to join us in honoring and benefiting four great local charities:

• Eos Therapeutic Riding Center which offers therapeutic horseback riding activities for mentally, physically, and emotionally challenged children, adults, and veterans.
• Mommy and Me Rescue and their devotion to rescuing dogs that are in need of homes, no matter the reason.
• The Good Samaritan Mission and their aim to meet the needs of economically disadvantaged individuals and help break the cycle of poverty in the Danville Community.
• Getting Ahead Foundation and their dedication to empowering members of our communities to rise out of poverty and equip them with the tools to lead nutritionally, physically, and financially healthy lives.

MC hosted many other fundraising events in addition to the golf tournament, including a bus trip to Washington D.C. for the Cherry Blossom Festival and a Charity Basket Raffle. Altogether, we were able to raise $30,000.00 to be split amongst our charities to help support each individual mission. We would like to extend a special thank you to all of our sponsors and donors, without whom none of these events would be possible.

“Giving back is a core focus at MC Federal. Being able to support these charities and all the good that they do is such an honor,” said Elba Arenas, President of MC Federal Credit Union. “Being part of the credit union movement of People Helping People is incredibly rewarding. By hosting these charity events, and partnering with local organizations, we get to see a direct positive impact in the communities we serve.”
