CHARLOTTE, Mich., July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Spartan
Motors, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAR) ("Spartan" or the "Company"),
the North American leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing and
assembly for the commercial and retail vehicle industries
(including last-mile delivery, specialty service, and
vocation-specific upfit segments), as well as for the emergency
response and recreational vehicle markets, continued its commitment
to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® through its fourth annual
sponsorship of the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational July 25-28 at the TPC Southwind private golf club
in Memphis, Tennessee.
"Over the past four years, Spartan has demonstrated our
commitment to our partnership with FedEx by giving back to St.
Jude. Our team is honored to stand by FedEx at this event," said
Daryl Adams, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Spartan Motors. "We are honored to support this
important event that touches the lives of patients, researchers,
and families alike."
The St. Jude Invitational supports research and treatment to
defeat cancer and other life-threatening diseases in children. With
the support of sponsorship through the WGC-FedEx St. Jude
Invitational, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for
treatment, travel, housing, or food. In 1970, St. Jude became the
event's sole beneficiary. Since then, contributions to St. Jude
have totaled more than $43
million.
This sponsorship is one of the many charitable donations Spartan
Motors makes to the communities in which its associates and
customers live and work. In 2018, Spartan Motors supported
non-profit organizations across the nation by giving more than
$300,000 through monetary donations
and fundraising activities.
