Affinity Federal Credit Union (“Affinity”) recently hosted its
annual President’s Invitational Golf Outing, raising over $200,000
for the Affinity Foundation (“Foundation”). The event, held on June
10, 2024, had 116 golfers joined by additional guests and 57
sponsors.
The Foundation is grateful to recognize the top sponsors of the
event including: Allied Solutions, Fiserv, Vericast, VISA, Inc.,
New York Red Bulls and Greenwood Products. The support from
sponsors is integral to the Foundation’s ability to provide
Affinity members and communities with solutions to improve
financial wellbeing, enable self-sufficiency and end the cycle of
poverty.
“We are humbled by the generosity of our partners and sponsors,
many of whom return each year to support the work of the
Foundation,” said Kelly Watts, Executive Director of Affinity
Foundation. “The continued need for programs like our community
grants and Member Relief Fund demonstrates there is more work to be
done to help our local communities thrive and to help our members
achieve financial wellbeing. We are making an impact and continue
to advance the mission of the Foundation.”
The Foundation provides multi-year and annual grants to
mission-driven community non-profits, awards academic scholarships,
and provides real-time member relief grants to Affinity members in
financial need. The golf outing, cocktail reception and dinner
allowed for reflection on the success of the Foundation in the past
year and a look at what is planned moving ahead.
“We are grateful for the work of the Foundation, especially in
difficult economic times when our members are feeling the stress of
inflation and potentially taking advantage of community resources
that the Foundation supports,” said Kevin Brauer, CEO and President
of Affinity. “We are proud to serve and support the community
through the work of the Foundation.”
The event concluded with first prize awarded to the Fiserve
team; second place given to Schenck Price, Smith & King LLP;
and third place went to Olden Lane.
