The 3rd Annual Murray Company San Diego Golf Tournament at Maderas Raises $34K for the Sharp Healthcare Foundation
The 3rd Annual Murray Company San Diego Golf Tournament took place on Friday, 5/16 at Maderas Golf Club in Poway on a beautiful, sunny 72-degree day. Clients, vendors and employees participated in this annual event, all 144 of them with this year’s charity tournament benefitting Sharp Healthcare Foundation, the Envision Campaign. Given that we’re currently working on a Sharp Healthcare project and pursuing another one in La Mesa, this charity was par for the course.
Many months of planning led to a wonderful day at Maderas, and thanks to enthusiasm and help of several volunteers and everyone’s good spirit, the tournament was a huge success. The Tournament welcomed many generous sponsors, MC’s local vendors/suppliers, many of which hosted interactive booths on the course from a DJ booth to a golf ball cannon (at $20 per player and almost over 90% player participation, this was a nice contribution towards the charity).

The dinner/awards ceremonies were full of laughs, announcements, thank you’s and no shortage of awesome door prizes. San Diego Detailer Eddie Agundez ran the raffle, engaging the audience and livening up the room. MC and mainly the sponsors donated many fantastic items from Padres tickets, Milwaukee tools, gift cards, Apple products, big screen TV’s and so much more. Taking the podium in first place with a score of 56 were MC’s Jordan Smith and his group including Chris Jadwin from Swinerton, PCL’s Joel Brick and Vincent Luna from MA Engineers. Men’s longest drive went to Eric Goldsmith from Air Treatment and Women’s longest drive to DPR’s Vika Huber. The charity raffle prize, a $5,000 gift card to Aviara Resort won by Murray Company’s very own, Project Engineer Chris Gaydos. Congratulations!
Through the sale of raffle tickets and the cost of golfer registration, Murray Company raised over $17K which was then matched 100% by MC amounting to a $34,000 donation check to Sharp Healthcare. Sharp’s VP Hollis Gentry was in attendance to receive this oversized check which was then presented at a Sharp Healthcare Board Meeting on May 27th by San Diego’s VP John Vanderelst and Preconstruction HVAC Lead, Kevin Grogg (stay tuned for coverage from this event).
