News of the work that PYR was doing in our community reached the Credit Union of Texas in late 2004. Several of its executive staff members visited with us over lunch one day, and immediately Credit Union of Texas became a sponsoring partner.

They support our belief that not only is it a privilege, but it is a responsibility to provide important social and learning experiences to financially or socially disadvantaged male youths from single-parent homes.

Credit Union of Texas understands the importance of second chances.

Credit Union Services Inc. (CUSI), provider of consumer services such as FairLease and FairHomes, has had a history of meeting the vehicle and home ownership needs of adults that may have experienced rough times.

With several of CUSI's key management being active hunting & fishing enthusiasts themselves, CUSI became aware of the Pintail Youth Ranch organization and saw it as a way to help youth that may have experienced these same tough times.

CUSI feels the Pintail Youth Ranch goes beyond the scope of traditional community involvement and provides experiences and opportunities that are seldom available to the underprivileged.

These experiences can have a life-changing impact on participants and on the volunteers that support them.
