ATU MS Golf Tournament raises critical funds for MS research
The ATU held its 35th Multiple Sclerosis Research Fund Golf Tournament from September 26-27 at the Renditions Golf Course in Davidsonville, MD. It was a great day for the ATU as more than 100 golfers came out for this amazing cause. This year, ATU Locals, other unions, supporters, and guests raised more than $68,000 for the ATU MS Research Fund to support ongoing research to help end MS.
After a day of golfing on the course, International President John Costa and International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk addressed participants, thanking them for attending the tournament and supporting the ATU MS Research Fund. Costa also praised all ATU Locals and their members for being heroes by keeping their communities and economies moving throughout the pandemic. The ATU Multiple Sclerosis Research Fund has been raising money to help find a cure for MS for more than 35 years. The cause of MS is still unknown. Scientists believe that a combination of environmental and genetic factors contributes to the risk of developing multiple sclerosis. MS affects more than 2.3 million worldwide. Thank you to everyone who sponsored, golfed, and donated to help the ATU raise funds needed to help find a cure for MS. We look forward to seeing everyone at future events for this great cause.
