Earlier this month, WIMCO Corp, a commercial construction general contractor located in Washington, NC, hosted their 3rd annual charitable golf tournament at Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville, NC.
With the help of subcontractors, suppliers, local financial institutions and clients, the WIMCO Charitable Foundation raised a total of $75,804 for local charities that are impacting lives right here in Eastern, NC. The charities included Aces for Autism of Greenville, NC, Combat Warriors of NC and The Kelly Children’s Home of Washington, NC.
“It was an incredible event, and we are so thankful for all of the sponsors that came together to make this day happen” said Kevin Rawls, CEO of WIMCO and President of the WIMCO Charitable Foundation.
An additional $3,300 was raised from day-of sales which are being donated to Bright Futures of Beaufort County.
The tournament also represented the kick-off of the WIMCO Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, that was established in late 2020.
The mission of the WIMCO Charitable Foundation is to uncover needs in the community and help fill those needs, both financially and through construction endeavors, in hopes of bringing hope and joy to our neighbors.
