The Credit Unions of Maui are proud to announce the success of their 9th Annual Charity Golf Tournament, held on August 10, 2024, at The Dunes at Maui Lani. This year's event brought together 144 golfers and community supporters, resulting in a remarkable $38,000 raised to benefit Hospice Maui, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to providing compassionate end-of-life care for Maui residents.
This year's tournament exceeded expectations, with participants enjoying a day of friendly competition, prizes, and philanthropy. The funds raised will directly support Hospice Maui's mission to offer comprehensive hospice and palliative care, including medical services, emotional support, and grief counseling, to individuals and families in need.

Tournament co-chair Kelly Tobita, CEO/President of Maui Teachers Federal Credit Union added, "The generosity and community spirit shown by participating golfers, sponsors, and volunteers have made a significant impact on Hospice Maui's ability to continue providing essential services to our island’s residents during their most difficult times."
