Greensboro, NC – January 25, 2024 - Summit Credit Union is pleased to announce the success of
their fourth annual “Join the Huddle” campaign. In the months of August through December 2023,
Summit Credit Union set-up an online auction for tickets to Carolina Panthers’ regular season home
games. Each winning bidder was given the choice among five pre-selected charities for where to
donate their bid funds. These charities included the Hamilton Scholarship Fund, Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals/Duke Children’s Hospital,
Backpack Beginnings, and Wounded Warrior Project.


Summit Credit Union also held a “Summit Wears Pink Week” pledge drive in October where
staff donated money to wear pink with jeans for the week. Staff raised $485 pledged solely to the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.


In total, Summit Credit Union raised over $4,000 for the Hamilton Scholarship Fund, Susan G.
Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals/Duke Children’s Hospital, and BackPack Beginnings. 100% of pledges and auction
proceeds will be donated to the five charities in January 2024. Altogether, Summit Credit
Union’s Join the Huddle campaign has raised close to $15,000 for charity.
“The continued success of our Join the Huddle campaign is a testament to our commitment of
giving back to the communities we serve, and we eagerly anticipate the positive outcomes the next
charity fundraiser will bring," stated Sam Whitehurst, President and CEO of Summit Credit Union.
