Arctic Directory: Global Diving & Salvage teams with JG Sport for cause
Global Diving & Salvage Inc. said Jan. 25 that it has teamed with JG Sport to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital, Cardiac Care Unit by supporting Team Seattle, a race car group that is competing in this week’s Rolex 24 at Daytona endurance race as well as throughout the 2011 GRAND-AM series. John Graham, chief strategic officer of Global Diving & Salvage Inc. has had a long relationship with Children’s, spanning more than 20 years. His first exposure to the magnificent work that Children’s is capable of began with the birth of his son who was a patient there. It continued along through the years with several children of Global employees being treated at the facility. Recently, an employee’s daughter even received a heart transplant performed by Dr. Gordon Cohen, chief, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, co-director, Heart Center and a motivator of Team Seattle. It is this intimate connection that has spurred Global’s commitment to Team Seattle sponsoring the construction of Children’s future Hybrid Surgery Suite. Team Seattle is a group of auto racing enthusiasts who over 14 years ago formed, with the objective of raising money for Children’s through endurance racing at Rolex 24 at Daytona.
