Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
Nearly 200 golfers, supporters, and guests came out for the 39th Annual ATU Multiple Sclerosis Golf Tournament, one of the largest ever. ATU locals, sponsors, and guests raised funds for the ATU MS Research Fund to support ongoing research to help end MS.
International President John Costa, International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk, and International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo addressed participants at the reception, thanking them for attending the tournament and supporting the ATU MS Research Fund.
“I’ve been coming to this event for many years since I was the president at Local 819-Newark, NJ, and this is one of the biggest ATU MS Golf Tournaments ever. Our union has been doing this tournament for 39 years, and I am proud that we have continued this tradition,” Costa said. “It is humbling to see the support of our Locals, our IVPs, sponsors, and everyone to raise funds for the ATU MS Research Fund to fight this debilitating disease. Thank you to International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk and staff for once again organizing a great event.”
