Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) and its associates once again showed
their commitment to the local Buffalo community by raising more
than $250,000 at the distributor's 17th Annual East Coast Charity
Golf Tournament. The event, which benefitted five local charitable
organizations, was held earlier this month at The Links at Ivy
Ridge in Akron, N.Y.
"Our annual golf tournament reflects on the longstanding Ingram
Micro tradition of giving back to the communities in which we work
and live," said Tom Bamrick, executive director, east and global
sales, Ingram Micro North America. "The annual outing is a fun way
to bring our associates and business partners together in support
of local charities. When companies and communities work closely
together for a good cause, it can have a huge impact, encouraging a
spirit of wellness."
With the help of Ingram Micro business partners and sponsors,
the tournament awarded five local charities with donations ranging
from $20,000 to $40,000. Those charities included:
- The Anthony V. Mannino Foundation will use the funds to
financially assist young adults, ages 18-34, while they are
undergoing cancer treatment.
- Cradle Beach will use its donation to replace a company van
that transports disabled children participating in their
camps.
- Danceability will replace dance floors and purchase accessories
for those in its "Sensory Rooms" program that serves both adults
and children with special needs.
- Gerard Place will renovate its gymnasium to make it a safer
place to have children participate in character building activities
that are part of its housing program for homeless single parent
families.
- Theatre of Youth will renovate its theatre and improve its
sound system at the location where more than 50,000 children
participate and see plays each year.
The 2012 Ingram Micro East Coast Charity Golf Tournament drew
148 golfers, including Ingram Micro executives, associates,
customers and vendors, as well as more than 50 associate
volunteers. The event was sponsored by 35 of Ingram Micro's
strategic vendors and manufacturers including Add-On Computer,
Cisco, D-Link, Ergotron, HP, Intel, Juniper Networks,
MaintenanceNet and Wells Fargo. Ingram Micro also held a silent
auction to raise additional funds for the local charities.
At the annual awards ceremony, Marty Battaglia, senior director
of sales for Ingram Micro and the event organizer for the past
seven years, praised the generosity of both Ingram Micro associates
and the distributor's vendor partners, who together have raised
more than $1 million for local Buffalo charities over the past few
years.
"Ingram Micro and its associates take great pride in being a
part of the Buffalo community and are honored to help our local
charities make a difference in the lives of those in need," says
Battaglia.
