GHFCU hosted the 9th Annual Chip in Fore CMN golf tourna-ment at Southbridge Golf Course. As part of the Credit Unions for Kids effort, the tournament supports the Children’s Miracle Network and the Dwaine and Cynthia Willett Children’s Hospi-tal of Savannah.

The top two winning teams are pictured. Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to all participants and sponsors.

Credit Unions for Kids is a nonprofit collaboration of credit unions engaged in fundraising activities to benefit 170 Chil-dren’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Adopted as our movement’s charity of choice, credit unions are the 3rd largest sponsor of CMN Hospitals. Since 1996, CU4Kids has raised $160 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

One hundred percent of every dollar raised from the Chip in Fore CMN Tournament remains in the local community and supports The Dwaine and Cynthia Willett Children’s Hospital which serves the low country.

Chip in Fore CMN was a great success!
