Building Financial Futures Golf Classic
TruMark Financial held its 7th Annual Building Financial Futures Golf Classic on Monday, Oct. 17, 2022, at Talamore Country Club, Ambler, Pa., in support of financial literacy. The event raised $40,000 to benefit schools in need of personal finance resource.
Golfers enjoyed a variety of contests in addition to 18 holes of scramble golf tournament play. Special thanks to our vendors who sponsored the event, local businesses that donated items for the silent auction, and the golfers who participated in this year’s outing. Your support helped make this year’s golf outing a huge success.
Kiss A Pig
On May 11, 2022, TruMark Financial held its 11th annual Kiss A Pig Financial Literacy Fundraiser at the Abington Art Center in Jenkintown. Last year, with the money raised from the credit union’s golf classic and the Kiss A Pig event, the credit union awarded $6,800 grants to nine schools to use for personal finance resources.
The fundraiser is a component of TruMark Financial’s initiative, Building Financial Futures. It brings together educators, community and business leaders, and credit union employees to raise money for the privilege of kissing a pig. Funds raised at the event allow area schools to provide students with resources such as calculators, computer software, and textbooks to help teach the value of saving and the importance of managing money responsibly. To date, TruMark Financial has donated more than $400,000 to area schools in need of personal finance materials.
Students representing 10 different schools competed in TruMark Financial’s annual Jeopardy event for a chance to win a $5,000 scholarship. This year participants wrote two essays and had a Zoom interview with personal finance related questions instead of the usual interactive Jeopardy game show format. At the end of the competition, three scholarships were awarded – a $5,000 grand prize, a $3,000 second prize, and a $2,000 third prize.
