Twice Daily, owned and operated by Tri Star Energy, has “officially exceeded more than $5 million raised for its partner Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. This milestone was achieved with the largest donation in the history of the partnership during Twice Daily’s 24th annual Golf Cup,” Twice Daily said in the press release.
Following the Golf Cup, Twice Daily hosted a check presentation, celebrating $425,000 raised for the children’s hospital.
“Tri Star Energy and Twice Daily are deeply committed to supporting Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and its patients, and we’re humbled to have reached such a significant milestone that directly impacts our local community and our children,” said Steve Perry, chief operating officer of Tri Star Energy. “This is the 24th year we’ve hosted the golf tournament, and each year, I am inspired by how everyone comes together for such a meaningful cause.”
Wills Group, the parent company of Dash In, also held a successful golf tournament for charity and announced the launch of its partnership with Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay as part of the company’s new corporate community engagement initiative, “Advancing Waterways.” The Wills Group’s 2024 Blackie Wills Golf Classic raised more than $427,000 to further support its community engagement program.
“Now in its eighth year, the Blackie Wills Golf Classic has resulted in more than $3 million raised since 2017 to support nonprofit organizations, such as food banks, pantries and local parks,” the company said in a press release.
“We are excited to expand our community engagement efforts with the launch of our Advancing Waterways and Watersheds program,” said Wills Group President and CEO Julian B. (Blackie) Wills. “Wills Group has operated in Southern Maryland for nearly 100 years, and the Chesapeake Bay is an essential natural resource spanning the Mid-Atlantic region—as a habitat for wildlife, an important fishery and source of recreation. Our new program builds on the Wills Group’s ongoing commitment to outdoor spaces, and given our location, it is only fitting that this new initiative centers on the health of waterways and watersheds.”
Pennsylvania-based Snappy's Convenience Stores raised $4,000 for the Alzheimer's Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter through its "Ready, Set, Bloom We Can #ENDALZ" campaign. This past July and August, customers at all 11 Snappy's locations across Clearfield, Centre, Mifflin and Union counties were invited to make a $1 donation, which contributed directly to the Alzheimer's Association. In return, donors wrote their name or a loved one’s name on a purple flower that was displayed in-store to honor those affected by the disease.
The funds raised through Snappy’s efforts will support the local Walk to End Alzheimer's, as well as the Alzheimer's Association's mission to provide local support groups and research grants.
