Oil Patch Bits: Arctic Catering lends resources to AWAIC tournament
For the fifth year in a row, Arctic Catering & Support Services sponsored a team in AWAIC’s Drive Out Domestic Violence Golf Tournament, and the event photography for the tourney.
AC&SS’ team was an all-female group, led by long-time Executive Director Client Solutions Eileen Simmons. The tournament is funded 100 percent by sponsorships, and raises money for victims of domestic violence and their children.
The tournament raised $30,000 in support of the shelter, from 68 golfers and sponsors. Funds are used to provide a safe place for those in imminent danger of domestic abuse. The shelter generally runs at or over capacity, with an average daily population of 50, providing services to more than 700 individuals annually.
The winning team in the tournament was Bristol Bay Native Corp.
“We are pleased to support events like this that address a serious need in our community,” said AC&SS CEO Dave Gonzalez. “Having our employees and senior staff take the lead in community support fundraisers like the AWAIC tournament is an excellent way for us to give back.”
