6th Annual ABNB Deep Sea Fishing Fest
Raises Nearly $43,000 for CHKD
June 25, 2009 – ABNB Federal Credit Union is pleased to announce it has donated $42,783.38 to Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters from the proceeds of its 6th Annual Deep Sea Fishing Fest. This represents an increase of more than $7,000 over the previous year. “We are so grateful to the good people at ABNB,” says CHKD Director of Corporate Relations Brenda Kuntz. “With the economy the way it is, most fundraisers are having a tough time hitting last year’s number. To do what ABNB has accomplished is beyond words.”
Nearly 200 participants along with top local radio personalities from 92.9 The Wave, 97.3 The Eagle, ESPN Radio 1310, 100.5 Max FM and Star 94.1 gathered on June 12 for a half day’s fishing excursion out of Rudee Inlet, followed by lunch provided by Carrabba’s Italian Grill.
“We could not be more pleased with the outcome of this year’s event,” says ABNB President and CEO Carl Ratcliff. “We knew we had our work cut out for us, but everyone stepped up: our vendors, our employees and our very generous members.”
For over forty years ABNB has maintained a commitment to providing quality products and services along with professional and personal service to its members. With fourteen branches and five service centers, ABNB currently serves more than 45,000 members and is one of the largest home-based financial institutions in the Hampton Roads area.
