Mountain Credit Union (MCU) held its annual Tee it Up for Diabetes Golf Tournament on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. 

After a day of perfect weather, MCU announced a donation of $12,000 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

Their generous donations over the years have topped the $70,000.00 mark and have significantly advanced our mission to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes and improve the lives of those affected by the disease.”
