SUNCOAST CREDIT UNION SUPPORTS
STUDENT
Success
Pasco-Hernando State College Foundation received a gift of $ 60,000 from the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation. The funds will benefit students through initiatives such as scholarships, the Bobcat Pantries and events.
The pantries, located at five campuses, provide supplemental food and various hygiene products to ensure students who need assistance have their basic needs met. In addition to supporting student needs, the donation also helped sponsor several PHSC events, including All College Day, the Foundation’ s Performing Arts Series and the annual Golf Tournament.
“ Being able to support education, which is the root of our long credit union history, is a privilege as well as our mission. We know that an educated community serves its people in important ways, and we are proud to support efforts that turn dreams into degrees and future jobs for willing students,” says Jeff Kunberger, Executive Director of Suncoast Foundations.“ Fulfilling basic needs is a question of dignity, and this is paramount for student success,” he added.
Suncoast Credit Union, Florida’ s largest credit union, founded the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation to promote the education, health and emotional well-being of children in the community. Each time a Suncoast member uses their debit or credit card, the credit union donates two cents to the Foundation to fund local initiatives. Since its inception in 1990, the Foundation has raised and donated over $ 45 million.
