CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Forty representatives from credit unions in North and South Carolina competed against each other in a charity golf event that raised approximately $57,000 for the Victory Junction Gang Camp, a NASCAR-themed facility for chronically and terminally ill children.
Victory Junction was founded by NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and his wife, Pattie, in memory of their son, Adam, who was killed in a NASCAR racing accident in 2000. The camp is designed to enrich the lives of children with chronic illnesses by creating experiences that are exciting, fun, physically safe and medically sound.
The Carolinas Cup event, which this year was won by the North Carolina contingent, has generated more than $222,000 for Victory Junction since its inception.
The Fifth Annual Carolinas Cup, held March 15-17, at the Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club in Southern Pines, N.C., was hosted by the Carolinas CU Foundation, the North and South Carolina credit union leagues and CUNA Mutual Group.
