EDWARDSVILLE, IL – The Scott Credit Union Community Foundation is pleased to announce the success of its 15th Annual Golf Scramble, held on May 19, 2023, at Stonewolf Golf Club in Fairview Heights, Illinois. The event, presented by FIS, brought together over 100 participants and raised more than $57,000 that will be donated back into local communities.
The Scott Credit Union Community Foundation Golf Scramble has become a highly anticipated annual event that not only fosters community engagement but also generates vital funds for our communities. This year’s event was no exception, thanks to the generous support of our presenting sponsor, FIS, and the enthusiastic participation of community members, local businesses, and dedicated Scott Credit Union volunteers.
The tournament day was filled with friendly competition and beautiful weather, as players showcased their golfing skills on the well-groomed fairways of Stonewolf Golf Club. One of the highlights of the event was the virtual auction, featuring a wide range of exceptional items generously donated by local businesses. The Scott Credit Union Community Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to these businesses for their contributions, which played a crucial role in the tournament’s success.
“The Scott Credit Union Community Foundation is immensely grateful for the overwhelming support received from our presenting sponsor, FIS, as well as the local businesses who also sponsored or donated items for our auction,” said Frank Padak, CEO & President of SCU and Board Member of the SCU Community Foundation. “The incredible generosity demonstrated by our community members, sponsors, and volunteers will enable us to make a tangible difference in the lives of many individuals. Together, we are building a stronger and more vibrant future for our communities.”
The funds raised through this year’s tournament will be distributed to various local organizations, empowering them to continue their important missions and positively influence the lives of community members. The Scott Credit Union Community Foundation is committed to providing education through
scholarships, the foundation’s very own With You grant program for local schools, and needs that arise within local communities.
