Press Release: Upstate YMCA Donation
June 1st, Greenville, SC — MTC Federal Credit Union is proud to announce that the Prisma Health Family YMCA in Simpsonville has been selected as the June nonprofit partner as part of the credit union’s ongoing $50K for 50 Years community giveback initiative. The donation includes both a direct donation to the YMCA and support for youth soccer opportunities in collaboration with Greenville Triumph SC.
As part of the initiative, MTC Federal will donate $4,000 to support the YMCA and provide a community donation match of up to an additional $2,000, helping further expand the organization’s impact throughout the community.
In addition to the donation, MTC Federal is continuing its partnership with the Greenville Triumph SC “Pass It On” Clinic, a youth soccer clinic designed to expand access to the sport for local children, by providing 50 complimentary clinic registrations for Prisma Health Family YMCA youth who receive financial assistance to participate in the branch’s soccer program. The donated registrations will provide these children, who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend, with the ability to do so at no cost to their families. This marks MTC Federal’s second consecutive year supporting the clinic initiative, which focuses on youth development, wellness, and community engagement through soccer.
“This donation to the Prisma Health Family YMCA truly reflects the spirit of MTC Federal and our commitment to supporting the communities we serve,” said Kimberly Witt, President & CEO of MTC Federal. “The YMCA has long been a cornerstone of youth development and community support, and we’re proud to not only support their mission financially but also to help create meaningful opportunities for children and families through the Greenville Triumph SC ‘Pass It On’ Clinic.”
The $50K for 50 Years initiative was launched as part of MTC Federal’s 50th anniversary celebration, reinforcing the organization’s ongoing commitment to giving back and supporting local nonprofit organizations making a positive impact.
“We are incredibly grateful for MTC Federal’s generosity, not only with the financial donation to our youth sports program, but also for the registrations for our players to participate in the Greenville Triumph SC ‘Pass it On’ Clinic,” said Matthew Gilstrap, associate executive director of the Prisma Health Family YMCA. “Support like this allows us to continue expanding opportunities for local youth and families while strengthening the sense of community that organizations like MTC Federal, the YMCA, and Greenville Triumph value so deeply.”
MTC Federal encourages members and the community to participate in the matching donation opportunity throughout the month of June to help maximize support for the Prisma Health Family YMCA and its programs.
