Aiming for Miracles Returns, Raising Funds to Strengthen Communities
Atlanta (April 21, 2026) – The Center Parc Credit Union Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Center Parc Credit Union, once again partnered with the Associated Credit Union Foundation to host “Aiming for Miracles: A Collaboration of Generosity” from March 11–13, 2026.
As registered 501(c)(3) organizations, the two foundations brought together credit union leaders, partners, and supporters for this annual fundraising event, focused on advancing social, educational, and economic well-being across the communities they serve. The event took place at The Burge Club, a historic 1,000-acre property in eastern Newton County, Georgia.
Over the course of three days, attendees participated in a variety of activities designed to foster connection and friendly competition, including a quail hunt, sporting clays, networking opportunities, and shared meals—all centered around a common goal of giving back. The event’s welcoming atmosphere and collaborative spirit continue to make it a standout gathering within the credit union community.
Together, the organizations raised over $150,000 through sponsorships and donations. Proceeds will benefit a range of charitable partners, including the Miracle League of Newton County, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, the Venison Project, Habitat for Humanity, the Postal Employees Relief Fund, American Cancer Society, Middle Georgia Community Food Bank, Special Needs Respite, Tunnels to Towers, Willing Helpers Food Pantry, Willing Helpers Medical Clinic and the Center Parc Youth Scholarship Program.
“We’re incredibly proud to see this event continue to grow and bring people together for a meaningful cause,” said Blake Graham, President & CEO of Center Parc Credit Union. “At the heart of our foundation is a commitment to people helping people, and this event is a powerful example of what can happen when that philosophy comes to life.”
Chadwick Evans, Associated Credit Union’s Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer, added, “Aiming for Miracles continues to reflect the collaborative spirit of the credit union movement. By working together, we can expand our reach and make a positive impact for children, families, and communities in need.”
