ATD Donates $170,000 at 25th Charity Golf Classic

American Tire Distributors (ATD) has donated $170,000 to three Charlotte, N.C.-based charitable organizations: the Ada Jenkins Center, Moore Place and Crisis Assistance Ministry.

The gifts were announced at the company’s 25th Annual ATD Charity Classic golf tournament, which has raised more than $1.3 million in total funds for local and national nonprofit organizations since its inception. This year’s donations were raised by contributions from vendors participating in the golf tournament and a contribution from ATD.

“We’ve been a member of the Charlotte community for over 75 years and we believe it’s absolutely essential to support groups that help address the important needs of our community,” said Bill Berry, ATD president and CO. “We want to thank all our vendors whose generous contributions along with ATD’s direct gift have made it possible to support this year’s worthy recipients.”

ATD donated $56,700 to each of the three organizations. The Ada Jenkins Center supports people in the North Charlotte area to become better educated, healthier and economically self-sufficient. Moore Place, a part of Charlotte’s Urban Ministry Center, provides housing and supportive services for chronically homeless adults in the community. Crisis Assistance Ministry provides assistance and advocacy for people in financial crisis by helping them move to self-sufficiency.
