Jim Ellis Annual Charity Golf Tournament
|
Since 2000, we have hosted a charity golf tournament to raise funds
for various charities that our employees nominate and select. The
proceeds are awarded during the holiday season. Many of our employees
help with hosting the tournament and many more participate as players.
Most of our sponsorships come from our many generous business vendors,
associates and vehicle manufacturers.
The year 2006 was one of our most successful events. We had 240
golf participants and the tournament netted over $50,000 in funds to go
to some very rewarding charities during the holiday season. Each year
the recipients always include: Children's healthcare of One year, an employee nominated a single parent family with five children to receive some help. They had just lost their home in a tragic fire with no insurance. We, of course came through to make sure the children had a happy holiday season. We have also donated to individuals who have just experienced a serious medical situation, or just lost a loved one, or whose family lost everything in the Katrina Disaster. It is pleasing to see so many Jim Ellis employees help with this charity event that brings us together for food, fun and golf, and more importantly, to raise funds so we can reach out to those in need in our community at a special time of the year.
