Michelin North America, Inc. has raised more than $670,000 through its recent Charity Golf Tournament, with proceeds supporting 10 charities in communities where Michelin employees live and work.
“The generosity of our suppliers this year was remarkable,” said Will Whitley, Director of State, Local Government Affairs & Community Relations at Michelin North America. “We are deeply grateful for their support of our communities. Through this event, we continue to be amazed at the level of engagement of those suppliers, our employee volunteers, and the participating charities. After two years without an in-person tournament due to the pandemic, it was especially gratifying to come together this year in support of the broad range of organizations doing truly impactful work throughout the local communities where we operate.“
