World's Largest Technology Distributor and Its Sponsors Give $25,000 to Each of the Six Charities
SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwire - May 26, 2011) - Ingram Micro Inc. (
"Ingram Micro has always had a tradition of giving back to the communities in which we work and live, and this annual golf tournament is one of the best ways to bring our associates and partners together to keep that tradition going," said Keith Bradley, president, Ingram Micro North America. "We're very fortunate to be able to partner with our vendor community and give to both local and national charities. In the 18 years that we have held the tournament, we've raised nearly $1 million and supported more than 50 non-profit organizations. We are grateful to all who participate."
This year's tournament drew 128 golfers, including Ingram Micro executives, associates and family members, customers and vendors. In addition, for those non-golfers who still wanted to show their support, Ingram Micro held its First Annual Wine Tasting and Gourmet Cooking Demonstration, sponsored by South Coast Winery. As golfers and guests enjoyed refreshments and the awards ceremony following the tournament and wine tasting, a silent auction of unique items contributed by a variety of sponsors and member companies was also held.
The charity event was sponsored by Ingram Micro's strategic vendors and manufacturer representatives, including L&T InfoTech, Cisco, Cap Gemini, SAP America, Inc., ACS and Genpact LLC.
