ATKINSON, N.H.– Merrimack Valley Credit Union (MVCU) hosted its 2023 Charity Golf Classic at Atkinson Resort & Country Club, and the tournament, sponsored by Synergent, raised more than $55,000 to support the credit union’s new financial education program, Financial Edge.
Finiancial Edge is offered free of charge to community organizations throughout eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. Proceeds from the tournament will also fund financial education courses in schools throughout the region, in partnership with Banzai!

Howard in his opening remarks to the more than 120 participating golfers. “Thank you all for your generous contributions that will support our effort to bring financial literacy to the communities that we love to serve.”
The day featured hazy skies and high temperatures, but golfers enjoyed a Caddyshack-themed tournament with on-course contests, raffle prizes, a silent auction, lunch, dinner and cold beverages.
