MCCCU Fundraiser Luncheons

As many of you know, Motor City hosted BBQ fundraisers throughout the summer to support our local charities. We kept the good times Rollin’ into the fall and winter months with several Fundraiser Luncheons held at all 4 branch locations. From chili to stew, all the way to baked goods, the staff at MCCCU made these benefits possible by preparing these delicious goods. Motor City would like to send a special thanks to all of our members who attended and supported our luncheons. Again, you’ve shown just how much our community supports one another and have helped change the lives of those in need. We have received several letters of thanks from the organizations that we’ve supported and they send their many thanks as well. Thank You!

Callaway In School Golf Program

MCCCU has also ‘tied the knot’ with the Callaway Golf in Schools Program, a grass roots initiative that will see golf incorporated into the elementary school curriculum throughout the province of Ontario for the first time. Motor City sponsors Our Lady of Perpetual Help elementary school, aiding our youth in incorporating life-skills and values such as honesty, fair play, and respect, and applying lessons that not only aid in achieving everyday success, but also form the foundation of the spirit of golf. Thank You Callaway Golf for bringing such a great initiative into our schools!
