AHFCU Golf Classic raises $48,000+ for the Kids-N-Hope Foundation

American Heritage Federal Credit Union’s 17th Annual Golf Classic raised over $48,000 to benefit the Kids-N-Hope Foundation.

Over 130 golfers hit the course last month at the PineCrest Country Club, in Lansdale, PA to raise money for Kids-N-Hope Foundation. The Foundation supports the Music Therapy Program at the Children’s Seashore House of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Golfers and corporate sponsors enjoyed a round of golf on a brisk day, along with competing for various tournament prizes and bidding on items at the silent auction.

The day’s event concluded with a banquet and awards ceremony where Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Music Therapist, Amy Troyano, shared the importance of the Music Therapy Program and how the children benefit from the program.

Amy played a moving excerpt from a former patient of Children’s Hospital speaking about her experience in the Music Therapy Program.

Employee Garden helps Philabundance, Aid for Friends

As a part of its “Going Green” initiative, American Heritage Federal Credit Union’s Green Team recently worked with staff members to establish Employee Gardens on the grounds of the credit union.

And to not only help the planet but the local community as well, the vegetables these dedicated employees grew were actually sold back to employees in the credit union lunch rooms with all proceeds going to Philabundance and Aid for Friends.

American Heritage’s gardens also took part in two different contests, the “Best Employee Garden” and the “Best Scarecrow Contest.” Guest judges visited the gardens on August 14th and 15th and selected the winners.

The criteria for Best Garden Judging was based on overall maintenance of the garden, variety of plants, use of color, and use of space. The criteria for Best Scarecrow was based on overall creativity and appearance.

Congratulations to the Call Center and New Britain Office for winning “Best Employee Garden” and to First Heritage LLC, the Human Resources/Training Department and the Horsham Office for winning “Best Scarecrow.”
