Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest technology
distributor, again showed its support for its local community and
the military by presenting $150,000 to local charities at its 18th
Annual West Coast Charity Golf Tournament, held on Saturday, May 21
at the Tustin Ranch Golf Course in Tustin, Calif. With the help of
partners and sponsors, the tournament provided six charities with
donations of $25,000 each:
- Project HOPE School Foundation - Project
HOPE is a county-run school designed to help children without
permanent homes transition into the mainstream educational
system.
- Families Forward - an Irvine-based
nonprofit group that provides families in crisis with food,
employment and housing assistance.
- The Joyful Child Foundation - In Memory of Samantha Runnion was founded after the
abduction, molestation and murder of five-year old Samantha
Runnion, and focuses on proactive approaches to dealing with the
difficult issues of violence against children.
- Wounded Warriors - WWP's purpose is to
raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of
injured service members and their families.
- Friends & Helpers - Their goal is to
support and encourage women, teens and children, all of whom are
victims of domestic violence.
- Hands Together - Hands Together is
devoted to educating, inspiring and encouraging people to
understand the importance of responding to the needs of the poor
and disadvantaged.
"Ingram Micro has always had a tradition of giving back to the
communities in which we work and live, and this annual golf
tournament is one of the best ways to bring our associates and
partners together to keep that tradition going," said Keith
Bradley, president, Ingram Micro North America. "We're very
fortunate to be able to partner with our vendor community and give
to both local and national charities. In the 18 years that we have
held the tournament, we've raised nearly $1 million and supported
more than 50 non-profit organizations. We are grateful to all who
participate."
This year's tournament drew 128 golfers, including Ingram Micro
executives, associates and family members, customers and vendors.
In addition, for those non-golfers who still wanted to show their
support, Ingram Micro held its First Annual Wine Tasting and
Gourmet Cooking Demonstration, sponsored by South Coast Winery. As
golfers and guests enjoyed refreshments and the awards ceremony
following the tournament and wine tasting, a silent auction of
unique items contributed by a variety of sponsors and member
companies was also held.
The charity event was sponsored by Ingram Micro's strategic
vendors and manufacturer representatives, including L&T
InfoTech, Cisco, Cap Gemini, SAP America, Inc., ACS and Genpact
LLC. For more information about Ingram Micro's Community Relations
