RENO, Nev. – United Federal Credit Union (United) proudly celebrated its longstanding partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Western Nevada (BGCWN) alongside the Tahoe Knight Monsters (TKM) during the team’s Sunday, March 29 game against Rapid City Rush. The game showcased a shared commitment among all three organizations to supporting local youth through community partnerships.
United has partnered with the BGCWN since 2020, working together to provide financial literacy resources, programming support for events, and opportunities that help kids learn, grow, and thrive. Supporting the Club’s mission is a natural extension of United’s commitment to strengthening the communities it serves and ensuring young people have access to safe spaces, mentorship, and positive experiences.
“We are incredibly grateful for our continued partnership with United Federal Credit Union and the support from the Tahoe Knight Monsters,” said Brett Zunino, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Western Nevada. “These types of collaborations go far beyond financial contributions. They show our kids that the community believes in them, supports their dreams, and is invested in their future.”
Over the past two seasons, United deepened its community impact through a partnership with the Tahoe Knight Monsters. Through a dedicated United ticket link, 20 percent of ticket proceeds were donated directly to the BGCWN, resulting in a $3,000 contribution that turned fan support into meaningful benefits for local youth.
“At United, we believe strong communities start with strong support for our youth,” said Brook Sweeting, Senior Market Development Manager at United. “Our partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Western Nevada has always been about showing up for kids in meaningful ways, and working alongside the Tahoe Knight Monsters allowed us to turn a fun night of hockey into lasting community impact.”
