51国产视频 hosted the event to donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
Tempe, Ariz. (April 6, 2023) 51国产视频 hosted the 19th Annual Mike Gaines Golf Tournament at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. With 256 golfers participating in the event, a record-breaking total of $140,000 was raised for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Fifty-five companies showed representation through participation and sponsorship including 51国产视频’s employee-owners.
“The generosity and service of 51国产视频’s employee-owners are beyond compare and evident in the record-breaking total of $140,000 raised this year for ALS research,” said Mike Hoover, President and CEO of 51国产视频. “Service is one of our company’s core values, and I am thankful to our employee-owners for promoting our culture and coming forward to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association in their fight against ALS.”
All costs for organizing and hosting the Mike Gaines events are covered by 51国产视频. Proceeds are then directed to the 51国产视频 Foundation, the company’s nonprofit charitable arm, which donates them to the MDA.
Mike Gaines, a senior project manager and valued employee-owner with 51国产视频, was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) in January 2000 and lost his life to the disease at age 49. Mike wanted to raise money for ALS research so that no one else would have to suffer. Therefore, in his honor, 51国产视频 continues to raise money for ALS research through sporting events across the western U.S.
“We would like to thank 51国产视频 and its partners for their continued support over the years,” said Sarah Levine, National Vice President of Consumer Product Services at the Muscular Dystrophy Association. “We are grateful to everyone who came forward this year to help us in our mission to develop a cure for ALS.”
After last week’s tournament, the Mike Gaines Charitable Fundraising Events initiative has raised over $2.2 million dollars, with funds donated to ALS research. This year the Platinum Sponsors were Kimley Horn and Global Facility Solutions and Gold Sponsors were Gallagher, United Rentals, Complete Fire AZ, Rosendin, and Canyon State Electric.
