/EIN News/ -- TEMPE, Ariz., March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mountain America Credit Union recently donated $5,500 to Arizona State University’s (ASU) Sun Devil Club to enhance the academic institution’s student-athlete experience. The Sun Devil Club serves as the main fundraising entity for Sun Devil Athletics, operating as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Through the generous support of its members, the club is committed to providing resources that enable Sun Devil student-athletes to flourish and develop. The club funds scholarships, supports academic programs, integrates student-athletes into their communities, and ensures their health and well-being.

“On behalf of our hockey program, I would like to express our gratitude to Mountain America Credit Union.” said Vince Volpe, associate athletics director, Sun Devil Club. “Mountain America has invested in Arizona State Athletics in multiple ways that directly enhance the student-athlete experience. Sun Devil Athletics and the Sun Devil Club are very appreciative of our multifaceted partnership!”

At a recent hockey game, Mountain America team members presented the Sun Devil Club with a check for $5,500 before a home game at Mullett Arena.

“What the Sun Devil Club does to extend a helping hand to student-athletes aligns with our ‘people helping people’ philosophy,” said Sterling Nielsen, president and chief executive officer of Mountain America Credit Union. “Helping people achieve their academic dreams is just as important as supporting their financial dreams.”

In addition to Mountain America’s support of ASU through its $80,000 in scholarships provided to athletes since 2023 and the more than $20,000 donated to Sun Devil Club since 2022, Mountain America continues to support the Grand Canyon State through efforts with the American Cancer Society of Arizona and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
