May 26 2016 - 04:45PM
The first annual American Airlines Charity Golf Tournament raised
more than $225,000 for three Dallas/Fort Worth-based charities
including the Bush Institute’s Military Service Initiative, Komen
Dallas County and American Airlines Education Foundation.
"We are proud this tournament has raised so much for local
causes and it means a great deal to the American family to host
this event here in our hometown,” said American's chairman and
CEO Doug Parker. "The important work of the Bush Institute,
Komen Dallas County and the Education Foundation benefits those
right in our own backyard and we were delighted to present them
each with $75,000 donations today.”
The charities will use the money raised in a variety of ways all
benefiting the local community. The Bush Institute, Military
Service Initiative will use the funds to help aid their service to
post-9/11 military families by bridging the civilian-military
divide and fostering a successful transition and reintegration from
military service to civilian life.
The mission of the Dallas County Affiliate of Susan G. Komen® is
to ensure that all people of Dallas County, regardless of race,
income, geographic location or insurance status, have access to
life-saving breast health programs. They’ll use the donation
for research, screening, diagnostics, treatment and
treatment support services.
American Airlines Education Foundation will continue to support
educational initiatives by funding college scholarships for
dependents of airline employees.
