"Brrrreeezy and cccold" were the words of the day heard yesterday as 120 golfers piled on the layers and hit the links at the 15
th Annual Richard D. Mahoney Charity Golf Tournament held at Candia Woods Golf Links, Candia, N.H.
The group was fearless as they navigated quickly around the course but took the time to enjoy a wonderful day for wishes and dreams come true for their charitable partner, Make-A-Wish New Hampshire.
In the final moments of the awards dinner, the New Hampshire Credit Unions presented a repeat record-breaking donation of $200,000 to Make-A-Wish New Hampshire CEO Julie Baron, Wish Child Emerson (Emme - age 3), mom Katy, and brother Sawyer. The amount, $25,000 higher than the goal set in September 2015, was the crowning moment of this year's efforts of New Hampshire's Credit Unions, bringing a 20-year total to more than $2.3 million raised for wishes. The New Hampshire Credit Unions remain the biggest corporate partner of Make-A-Wish New Hampshire with the largest donation to date.
