Submitted by America’s Credit Union
November 2nd 2012 was the 12th Annual Turkey Shoot, America’s Credit Union’s (ACU) charity golf tournament. The funds raised were donated to support our troops in three dynamic ways. ACU gave $10,000 each to Santa’s Castle, The Madigan foundation and The Food Basket program on JBLM.
Ken Leonard, ACU’s President/ CEO, said “thanks to the generosity of our sponsors we can help feed the soldiers, support them through the holidays and help them when or if they become wounded.”
With the funds raised from the Turkey Shoot, over the past 12 years ACU has been a part of providing Christmas to over 20,000 children, food for over 15,000 families, and health related programs that our JBLM community needs and relies on.
Every year ACU contributes approximately $160,000 to programs for soldiers, their families and our surrounding community, however this is a separate endeavor. The money raised by the Turkey Shoot over the past 12 years has totaled an additional $225,000.
