City of Boston Credit Union has stepped up as the title sponsor for this year's Putts & Punches for Parkinson's Golf Tournament. Now in its seventh year, the event was established and is hosted by former Boston Bruins brawler Shawn Thornton. Proceeds from the event are donated to organizations that support the fight against Parkinson's disease.
The decision to back Thornton was an easy one for the credit union. "Like the City of Boston Credit Union, Shawn is an institution-not just by bringing home the Cup in 2011, but for what he does for the community year round," stated Steve Green, president and chairman of the board. "When Shawn chose the City of Boston Credit Union to be not only his, but his foundation's financial institution, it only strengthened our longstanding relationship with him. Our credit union is proud to stand with Shawn, as he and his foundation continue their good work in the fight against Parkinson's disease and cancer."
