"I can't thank We Promise and Chartway enough for allowing my family to be a part of such amazing events. It pulls on our heart strings even more now being parents seeing the joy and smiles they bring to these families that face unimaginable challenges!" said LPGA player, Brooke Pancake. "I am in awe of the good this foundation does for these families and their communities." The following day, a full flight of We Promise supporters teed off with Brooke Pancake and Derek Rende at one of the most esteemed golf outings in the area: the 20th Annual Charity Golf Classic. More than 100 golfers, guests, and volunteers enjoyed a great day on the green at the Signature at West Neck Golf Course. The We Promise heroes arrived by limousine and received cheers and high-fives from sponsors and volunteers. They also had the opportunity to cruise around the course on golf carts – learning from tournament participants how to hold an iron and sink a putt. "We can't say enough about the outstanding generosity of our sponsors and supporters throughout the year who have helped us raise awareness and funds to bring joy, hope, and smiles to our We Promise heroes who are facing medical hardship or illness," said Phil Richards, President of Chartway's We Promise Foundation. Since 1999, the credit union and its We Promise Foundation have raised more than $10,000,000 to provide life-changing experiences that bring joy, hope, and smiles to children facing medical hardship or illness.
