Team Evergreen was all smiles at their disc golf tournament to benefit the Campaign for Ending Hunger.
Evergreen CU recently raised over $20,000 at their annual Disc Golf Scramble at Bittersweet Ridge Disc Golf Course in North Yarmouth. All event proceeds will benefit Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger.
Twenty-two teams played on the disc golf course in North Yarmouth, home to the annual Maine State Disc Golf Tournament. Lunch was catered from Paper City BBQ of Westbrook, and the day wrapped up with raffles for disc golf memorabilia as well as gift cards to local businesses in southern Maine.
“We appreciate all the businesses and organizations who donated and participated in the Disc Golf Scramble,” said Cole Rowland, Evergreen CU’s Planning Committee Lead for the tournament. “It gets all of us outside and supports our communities. At the end of the day, what more could you ask for?”
The Campaign for Ending Hunger allows Maine’s credit unions to collectively give back to their communities by giving monetary donations to food shelters, closets, and cupboards across the state. All funds raised for this campaign directly support organizations that fight food insecurity.
“Raising money for the Campaign is vital to Evergreen’s mission and purpose,” said Jason Lindstrom, Evergreen CU’s President/CEO. “With our financial support, we can help many communities at once. That’s what we’re all about—People Helping People.”
