ATLANTA, Ga. – July 2, 2025 – Community spirit was on full display as Apotheos FC partnered with Associated Credit Union (ACU) to host a memorable Member Appreciation Day (MAD) on Friday, June 27. The event took place at ACU’s North Druid Hills branch located at 2250 N Druid Hills Rd, and welcomed dozens of members and local soccer fans for an afternoon of fun, food, and face time with some of the club’s standout players.
Several members of the Apotheos FC squad, including Aaron Whitten, Tommy Redd, and Christian Carlton, spent the day mingling with fans, signing autographs, and even serving lunch to ACU members. Also in attendance were Anthony Catalano, the club’s Founder and Managing Partner, and Koby Packard, Business Operations Executive, who joined in supporting the event and interacting with community members.
“Associated Credit Union proudly hosted Apotheos FC on-site at our North Druid Hills location as part of our Member Appreciation Day,” said Tom Maiellaro, Vice President of Marketing at ACU. “Our partnership with the Atlanta-based soccer club provides us with exciting and unique opportunities to make our members and potential members feel appreciated.”
The event emphasized a shared mission between the two organizations—deep community involvement and meaningful engagement. Apotheos FC, which competes in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), has built a reputation not just for performance on the pitch, but also for its grassroots work and community-first approach. That mission aligns perfectly with ACU’s 95-year history of providing accessible, member-focused financial services across Georgia.
Headquartered in Peachtree Corners, ACU is Georgia’s sixth-largest credit union, serving over 155,000 members at 18 branch locations across the state. As a non-profit financial institution, ACU continues to deliver low-cost services and invest in initiatives that give back to the communities they serve.
