Teachers Federal Credit Union Raises $924K for Children's Health Care!

Hampton, NY, USA - In an inspiring display of community spirit and commitment to children’s healthcare, Teachers Federal Credit Union proudly announced it has raised over $924,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The funds were generated through a spirited golf tournament on June 4 at the picturesque Westhampton Country Club, where more than 150 golfers, sponsors, and supporters rallied together for a brilliant cause. This marks the third annual golf outing, and it clearly continues to grow in popularity and impact, with the previous year’s tournament bringing in more than $1.1 million for various nonprofit partners.

Brad Calhoun, the President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union, shared his pride: „We are thrilled to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.“ His words resonate with purpose as the credit union remains dedicated to community giving through charitable efforts and extensive employee volunteerism. In 2024 alone, the organization logged over 3,000 volunteer hours, focusing on education, healthcare, and much-needed family support.

A Focus on Local Hospitals

The funds raised are not just numbers; they directly benefit children in need across several key healthcare facilities. Contributions from this initiative have been directed towards crucial institutions like the Cohen Children’s Medical Center in Queens, the Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida in Fort Myers, and the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami. Each of these hospitals plays a vital role in providing specialized care to children, and the financial support from Teachers Federal Credit Union helps ensure they can continue their essential services.

Since 2021, the credit union’s support for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has surpassed the impressive milestone of one million dollars. The 2024 golf tournament alone raised over $600,000, thanks to the unwavering generosity of members, business partners, and employees. The organization is already looking ahead, aiming to elevate their fundraising efforts in the years to come, with hopes of making an even more significant impact on children’s lives through health care.
