Club Car donates $114,000 to United Way of CSRA

Club Car leaders made a substantial donation to United Way of the CSRA on Sept. 17.

Robert McElreath, Vice President of Connectivity of Club Car, presented a $114,000 check to Brittany Burnett, the United Way’s president and CEO, according to a news release from Club Car.

During the presentation, McElreath said, “Club Car Global Headquarters, Main Manufacturing Plant and Distribution Operations are all located in the CSRA and we are excited to give back and support the community that gives so much to us.”

As title sponsor for the Club Car Championship at the Landings Golf & Athletic Club, Club Car works with key supplier partners to raise funds that support United Way and other charitable causes, the release said.  This donation brings the company’s three-year giving from funds raised through the annual Korn Ferry Tour event to more than $250,000.

“Our relationship with Club Car spans nearly 30 years and is a great example of corporate citizenship. The Club Car team is committed to donating more than money and employees continue to volunteer their time, effort and resources to United Way and to our partner agencies,” said Burnett.

The United Way offers resources such as the 2-1-1 referral line and Ride United to provide transportation as well as funding programs through partner agencies that provide resources to benefit families in the region.

“We are excited to make our largest contribution from the Club Car Championship today and reflect on our recent service day at Project Serve and as we join companies around the community to kick off our annual employee giving campaign,” McElreath said, according to the release.
