More than 140 people participated in the Credit Unions of Maui's 11th Annual Charity Golf Tournament on Saturday at Waiehu Municipal Golf Course.
Organizers reported that the event raised $50,000 for Maui Junior Golf Association, a Maui nonprofit dedicated to developing life skills through fun, affordable and competitive programs that educate, motivate and inspire future golfers. That brings the coalition's total raised since 2014 to more than $350,000.
“Eleven years in, this tournament keeps growing because our community keeps showing up for it,” said Kyle Williamson, spokesperson for the Credit Unions of Maui. “We’re deeply thankful to everyone who golfed, sponsored, and volunteered their time -- it’s because of you that we can make a real difference for Maui’s families.”
Since 2014, Kahului FCU, Maui County FCU, MauiFed CU, Maui Teachers FCU, Valley Isle Community FCU, and Wailuku FCU have collaborated to host the annual tournament in support of local nonprofits across Maui County.
“Support like this from the Credit Unions of Maui changes what’s possible for our organization,” said Christy Hamasaki, president of Maui Junior Golf Association. “These funds go directly toward keeping golf within reach for every keiki on Maui, no matter their background or financial circumstances. We’re truly grateful for this partnership.”
The Credit Unions of Maui thanked Diamond Sponsor Golden Dragon 808 - Chef Tante Urban for generously donating the delicious buffet lunch enjoyed by the golfers and volunteers.
