Humid, sunny weather did little to dampen the enthusiasm or fundraising spirit at Point Sebago Golf Club in Casco on Wednesday, where 140 golfers gathered for the annual Ending Hunger Golf Tournament. Held in advance of Elevate 2026, the event brought together credit union professionals, business partners, and supporters for a day of friendly competition and charitable giving.
Throughout the tournament, teams competed for top honors in several categories. Winning teams and players include:
- First-Place Team Gross: cPort CU
- Second-Place Team Gross: NDBS
- Third-Place Gross: Evergreen CU
- First-Place Team Net Score: Granite State Development Corp.
- Second-Place Team Net Score: Bangor FCU
- Third-Place Net Score: Eastmill FCU
- Male Longest Drive: Tyler Baker
- Female Longest Drive: Kristen Poremby
- Male Closest to the Pin: Tonya Pickering
- Female Closest to the Pin: Ben Gosselin
Beyond the competition on the course, golfers supported hunger relief efforts through several fundraising activities. The League’s Jake Holmes once again offered participants on Hole 7 a chance to “Roll to End Hunger”, with proceeds benefiting MaineHealth’s Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. Thanks to golfers’ generosity, the activity raised $1,340.
Additional support came through a putting contest organized by Synergent’s Client Success Managers. For a donation, participants were entered into a raffle while testing their skills on the practice greens. The contest generated an additional $250 for the Ending Hunger Campaign.
Attendees also contributed to “Cans for a Cause” by donating nonperishable food items. Those donations will help stock the shelves of the Westbrook Food Pantry and support local families in our League’s hometown.
“This tournament is about much more than golf,” said Jen Burke, the League’s Vice President of Outreach & Strategic Initiatives. “It’s an opportunity for credit unions and industry partners to come together for a day of fun while making a meaningful impact in the fight against hunger. Every swing, putt, and donation helps our Campaign provide much-needed support to hunger relief organizations across Maine.”
The League extends its sincere appreciation to the golfers, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters whose generosity made the event a success! Their continued commitment helps strengthen our collective efforts to address food insecurity.
Our League invites you to join us back on the greens next May for our annual event. Details about the 2027 tournament will be available in January.
