Sundt Foundation hosts annual golf tournament for ALS research
Posted
The Sundt Foundation will hold its 19th annual Mike Gaines Charity Golf Tournament in Scottsdale 8 a.m.–3 p.m. on March 31.
Mike Gaines, a senior project manager and longtime employee-owner of Sundt, was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) in January 2000 and lost his life to the disease at 49 in 2002. Nearly 20 years later, Sundt continues to raise money for ALS research through a series of golf tournaments in Gaines’ memory, a press release stated.
To date, the Mike Gaines Charitable Fundraising Events initiative has raised nearly $2 million dollars, with funds donated to Muscular Dystrophy Association.
This year, the Muscular Dystrophy Association will receive a check at the awards ceremony, which will take place after the golf tournament. Sundt is expecting to raise over $100,000 in support of MDA, according to the press release.
Around 250 golfers will attend the tournament, which is supported by more than 55 companies including the event’s platinum sponsors, Kimley Horn and Global Facility Solutions, and gold sponsors, Gallagher, United Rentals, Complete Fire AZ, Rosendin and Canyon State Electric.
The tournament will be at Grayhawk Golf Club, 8620 E. Thompson Peak Parkway in Scottsdale.
