We are grateful for the support we receive from vendors, credit union colleagues, volunteers, friends, and family who attend the annual golf outing to help raise money for this worthy cause,” said Richard F. Stipa, TruMark Financial’s Chief Executive Officer.

Funds raised provide local schools with grants to purchase resources such as textbooks, computer software programs, and math manipulatives to teach the fundamentals of saving, borrowing, and investing.
