Jayco Golf Outing Raises Over $50,000 for Charity

Middlebury, Ind. – Jayco® Family of Companies, a leader in the recreational vehicle industry, held it’s first charity golf outing on Friday, July 25th at Meadow Valley Golf Club®. The event, with over 150 participants, raised over $50,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs® of Elkhart County.  Attendees included suppliers, industry media, Jayco employees and other members of the RV community.

 

“The thought behind the event was pretty simple, let’s do something for our employees, and with that, let’s partner with our supplier groups to do something for the community,” stated Ryan Vogt – Corporate Controller for Jayco and the Event Organizer. “We’re excited to be able to provide 100% of the proceeds to the Boys & Girls Club from what we hope will become an annual event.”

 

The event began with a luncheon, followed by a welcome address from Nic Martin, Vice President of Sales for Jayco, Entegra Coach & Heartland RV and Dr. Tami Hicks, President & CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Elkhart County.  This was followed by a shotgun start to the outing at the Meadow Valley Golf Club in Middlebury, Indiana, an 18-hole championship golf course, mixed with links style and tree lined fairways.  In the late afternoon, following golf, awards were presented and prizes for raffles and giveaways were distributed to the winners. 

 

“Anytime we can come together for an organization like the Boys and Girls Clubs that provides so much for our community and Jayco families specifically, we jump at the opportunity to offer our support,” stated Ken Walters, President & CEO of the Jayco Family of Companies. “We are pleased to be able to provide a donation of more than $50,000 all while spending a great day on the course.”
