DEL RIO, TX — Community members, sponsors, and local leaders gathered for the 13th Annual Border Federal Credit Union Golf Tournament, an event that continues to grow each year while supporting educational scholarships for area students.
Among those present at the tournament was Del Rio City Councilwoman Carmen Gutierrez, who also serves as Board Chair for Border Federal Credit Union, and spoke about the importance of the event and the impact it has on the community.
Gutierrez thanked the many sponsors and participants who helped make the tournament possible, noting that the event benefits the Border Federal Credit Union Foundation, which provides scholarships to graduating seniors.
“I want to thank all of our sponsors for supporting Border Federal Credit Union’s 13th annual golf tournament,” Gutierrez said.
“This event helps fund our scholarship program through the Border Federal Credit Union Foundation, which gives back to our community by helping graduating seniors continue their education.”
The annual scholarship program is open to students across the region, and applications for the Class of 2026 are now available.
Students interested in applying can contact their school counselor or visit the Border Federal Credit Union website or Facebook page to download the application.
“We encourage all graduating seniors to apply,” Gutierrez said.
“These scholarships are made possible thanks to the support of our sponsors and community partners.”

Community Events Strengthen Cross-Border Partnership
During the event, Gutierrez also spoke about the importance of community partnerships, including cooperation between Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña, as residents prepare for upcoming events such as the annual festivities in Acuña.
She reminded residents that shuttle service is available from the international bridge, making travel easier for those attending events across the border.
“Del Rio and Acuña have always been like one community,” Gutierrez said.
“We have to continue building partnerships with our businesses, our citizens, and our neighbors across the border. When we work together, it benefits everyone.”


Credit Union Continues Community Support
Gutierrez also highlighted the role Border Federal Credit Union plays in supporting local organizations, schools, and community programs.
She explained that the credit union is guided by a volunteer board of directors who serve out of dedication to the community.
“We do this because we love this community,” she said.
“Border Federal Credit Union has always been here to support local events, local students, and local families.”
Residents were also reminded that Border Federal Credit Union offers financial services including tax preparation assistance, financial counseling, and community meeting space available to local organizations.
With five branches serving the region, including locations in Del Rio and Eagle Pass, officials say the credit union remains committed to helping families succeed financially while continuing to give back through events like the annual golf tournament.
