Beaverton, OR. Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains was the site of the fourth annual Dave & Dan Classic. Dan Fouts, Greg Mitchell and Dave Wilcox were all on hand for the tournament. The event raised a record-breaking $1.1 million dollars for six Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals, including Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. First Tech Federal Credit Union united with other northwest credit unions, corporate sponsors, credit union members and celebrities on July 11th for the benefit.
Named after NFL Hall of Fame Inductees Dave Wilcox and Dan Fouts, this year’s event featured 29 celebrity guests including fellow Pro Football Hall of Famers Charlie Joiner, Dermontti Dawson, James Lofton and many others.

This year’s overwhelming success is a testament to First Tech and the entire credit union community.”
