OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERACollinsville, Illinois Scott Credit Union will again be the presenting sponsor of Triad High Schools spring invitational softball tournament that will be held May 9-10 at the local high school. Scott Credit Union Community Relations Representative Lauren Hoefert presented the $2,000 check to Triad softball coach Kris Kleeman to continue as the presenting sponsor of the tournament. The Annual Triad High School Invitational sponsored by Scott Credit Union will be hosted at Triad and feature matchups between 10 teams from schools throughout the area. "This is another opportunity for us to support a local school and help them to host the annual softball tournament," Hoefert said. "Having a location in Troy, we feel that it is important that we do what we can to help in the community. We also are happy to have another venue to let people know that the credit union is a better value." The teams to compete in this years tournament are Triad, Althoff, Highland, Chatham Glenwood, Murphysboro, Belleville West, Dupo, Civic Memorial, Columbia and Mt. Vernon. Scott Credit Union has made giving back to its communities a major priority. The local credit union contributed over $325,000 and its employees volunteered over 2,400 hours to a variety of local civic efforts throughout the region in 2013. "We realize that without our members and the communities in which we serve, we would not exist as a financial alternative," Hoefert noted. "Supporting our communities is very important to us." The credit union has increased its community involvement in the past few years while also increasing its efforts to educate consumers of the value of doing their financial business with a not-for-profit credit union. "We want people in the area to know more about the value of doing business with a credit union," she added. "That is why we have focused our time on educating area residents about Scott Credit Union. One of the big ways weve done that is through our community involvement." Scott Credit Union is open to anyone who lives or works in an 17 county area, including Madison, St. Clair, Monroe, Randolph, Perry, Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Clinton, Marion, Bond, Macoupin, Montgomery, Fayette, Effingham, Williamson, and Jackson counties.
