Maple Leaf Charity Cup

Sponsored by

Dear Credit Union Friends,

We all know that our members are facing increased economic pressures that make daily living and keeping food on their family’s table even more challenging. Food insecurity, like financial stress, puts all other goals just out of reach. With 2 out of 5 Vermonters currently facing food insecurity, our communities and their members are feeling the impact. This is why AVCU, Vermont credit unions, and their partners have joined forces with the Vermont Foodbank, ensuring that the battle against hunger is not one our members have to face alone!

Our largest annual fundraising effort to support the Vermont Foodbank is here! I am reaching out to you to join me and to bring a team or two for AVCU’s first annual Maple Leaf Charity Cup at the prestigious Vermont National Country Club on Wednesday, October 2, 2024. The Captain and Crew style tournament is designed for all levels of golfers, from beginners to seasoned players, or even those who just want to enjoy a day outdoors. Your participation, regardless of your golfing experience, will have a significant impact on fighting hunger in our communities. Don’t have a whole team to send? No worries, we will be more than happy to assemble a great team for you.

Following the tournament, we’ll gather at Burlington Beer Company’s taproom to distribute awards and more. This will be a great opportunity to network and unwind, all while enjoying local brews, delicious snacks, and the company of credit union colleagues and vendor partners from around the region.

The goal for this year’s event is a $7,000 collective donation to the Vermont Foodbank. Together, we can embody the philosophy of “people helping people” and make a real difference in the lives of our members.

Thank you for your consideration. We can’t do this without you and your team, and I look forward to seeing you on the green! Can’t make it? Please, consider being a sponsor with your donation!

The first annual Maple Leaf Charity Cup was a resounding success! Held at the beautiful Vermont National Country Club, surrounded by changing fall leaves, we weathered a few light breezes but lucked out with mostly sunny skies. With over 80 credit union friends from within the state and beyond, it was by far the biggest golf outing AVCU has hosted. Burlington Beer Company did not disappoint during the after-party, where we had a chance to network over brews, bites, and belly laughs. Congratulations to our winning team from Velera, who was also our premier sponsor, taking home the coveted carafe of pure Vermont maple syrup. We could not have done any of this without great support from our many sponsors, who helped make the day extra special. And between our golfers and sponsors, we are going to be able to support the Vermont Foodbank to provide much needed food and resources to the communities across Vermont, with our largest donation ever at $20,000!

We’re grateful for everyone who joined us and excited to come back and do it all again next fall. We’re already working on details for 2025, but in the meantime, reserve space in your calendar for the 2nd annual Maple Leaf Charity Cup next fall. We hope to have even more golfers and generate even more support for the Vermont FoodBank! For now, be sure to check out pictures from this year’s inaugural event, where you can download any you may want to save or share.

Everyday credit unions live by the philosophy of people helping people, and we’re so proud that the Maple Leaf Charity Cup is Vermont Credit Unions embodiment of this philosophy. Thank you, and see you next year!

In appreciation,

Sean Gammon. Chair
