The Friends of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization facilitated by Pen Air Federal Credit Union, presented a check for $40,000 to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society of Pensacola at the 18th annual Friends of the NMCRS, Inc. Charity Golf Tournament on April 13 at A.C. Read Golf Course.
Since 2000, Pen Air has given more than $475,000 to further the mission of NMCRS at Naval Air Station Pensacola. The credit union hosts the charity golf tournament to raise funds on behalf of the society who is unable to solicit their own funding. The Pensacola society is ranked second in the nation for receiving the most financial support by its community.
The funds given will be used for programs such as Quick Assistance Loans, Budget for Baby workshops, Emergency Travel Loans, Education Assistance, Health Education and Post-Combat Support, Disaster Relief, and Financial Assistance and Counseling. In the past year, more than 2,000 military families were assisted by these programs from the Pensacola society.
“Our mission at Pen Air is to enhance lives and military families are a top priority for us,” said Stu Ramsey, President/CEO of Pen Air. “We are here to help our service members always, but especially in times of financial need. It’s important to us that our troops have the financial education and assistance they need so that they can do what they do best, serve and protect our country.”
