MESSAGE FROM THE CEO - JEREMY SMITH

As we move into the summer months, we turn our attention towards an event that personifies our Building Better Lives mission here at Affinity, our GOING BIG charity golf outing.

On Wednesday, July 31^st, we will gather at Toad Valley golf course in Pleasant Hill to raise funds and awareness for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa. We’ve had the pleasure of partnering with this fantastic local organization for the past few years and cannot speak more highly of the positive impact they have on youth in need in our community.

For those who’ve participated in our event, you’re aware of the time and effort put forth by our staff to make it a fun and memorable experience. For those who have not had the chance to join us, I ask that you consider putting together a team in this 4-person best ball event.

If you’re not a golfer, hole sponsorships are only $350, and provide great visibility for local businesses.

You can find full details on our event webpage: https://www.affinitycuia.org/golf

This year’s event holds even greater significance, as it's our 30th annual outing. The longevity of this event speaks to the ongoing commitment Affinity devotes to enriching our communities through both financial contributions & volunteer efforts.



Please be aware that our branches will be closed on this day to allow the entirety of our staff to participate.

You already trust Affinity with many of your money matters. You can also rely on us to provide you with lower-rate private student loans that work for your family. We have partnered with ISL Education Lending to provide undergraduate and graduate loans with fixed or variable rates and multiple in-school payment options.
