DALLAS — With hopes of raising $100,000 toward Hurricane Ike disaster relief, a coalition of credit union corporates, vendors and the Harmon Killebrew Foundation announced Monday they are teaming up to host a celebrity golf tournament Nov. 18 at a Dallas country club.
The tab per foursome is $1,000, with each of the sponsoring corporates and vendors putting up $7,500 apiece.
Under the schedule, golfers will play 18 holes "of championship golf at the fabulous Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine along with sports celebrities," including Minnesota Twins Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew, said the Texas Credit Union League, which is coordinating arrangements.

"This tournament will be a fabulous way to support the disaster relief efforts," said Dick Ensweiler, Texas Credit Union League CEO and president. "The credit union community has been quick to respond to the initial disaster needs, and we know the demand will be there for the longer term needs as well."
The Texas Credit Union Foundation, which administers disaster relief funding, , already has provided nearly 900 grants to Texas CU employees and members with the total distributed now topping $469,000.
