Sunmark Federal Credit Union 2013 Charity Golf Classic - 08/09/2013

Golf Tournament to Benefit The Fisher House at Stratton VA Medical Center

For fourteen years, Sunmark Federal Credit Union has been proud to host our Charity Golf Classic. With the extra effort from our community, we have raised more than $193,000 for various local charities in the Capital Region.  

We’re honored to team up with The Fisher House at Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, NY, this year. We hope that with your help and generosity, we can raise more money than ever for a local cause.

Samuel S. Stratton Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center at Albany is proud to support The Zachary & Elizabeth Fisher House for patients and their families. Fisher House is a home-away-from-home for families of hospitalized veterans or veterans who are in the area to visit a hospitalized member of their immediate family. Also welcome to stay at the Fisher House are veterans, undergoing an extended episode of outpatient therapy, who are able to care for their own personal needs or are accompanied by a caretaker. House features include accommodations, common rooms, fully stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, and more.

The first Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher House was built at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland in 1991. Mr. Fisher hired his own architect, builder, and interior designer. After the houses are completed the Fishers turn ownership over to the respective Services or the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Fishers receive so much joy from the houses that more are being planned. Since the program’s inception, more than 65,000 families have stayed in Fisher House.
