Bowl-A-Thon Raises Funds for Local Kids with MD
Holland MI – May 2, 2009 – CITGO Petroleum Corporation (Ferrysburg, Michigan) along with the Muscular Dystrophy Association hosted their 2nd Annual Bowl-A-Thon charity fundraiser today to raise money for the children and families who struggle living with MD.
CITGO is the MDA’s largest national sponsor raising over $100 million during their 23-year partnership.
Brenner and CITGO have a long-term standing business relationship. When presented with this opportunity, Brenner took on the challenge when 15 employees along with family and friends donated their time and effort to raise pledge dollars and participate in the event hosted at StarLite Bowling Lanes in Grand Haven, Michigan.
“I wanted to do a bowl-a-thon that was a family event where everyone could participate”, said Chad Snouffer, CITGO’s Assistant Terminal Manager. “With a golf outing, the kids with MD simply can’t play golf. Bowling is fun for everyone—the kids and their families”.
This one-day event raised over $8500.00 which doubled from the funds raised in 2008. Snouffer said, “It’s obvious this event is growing. We look forward to doing this again next year. Brenner brought in the largest group of people to participate. We all feel this is such a great cause”.
