The 2015 Parker’s Fueling the Community Charity Golf Tournament, held on October 27 at The Club at Savannah Harbor in Savannah, Ga., raised $83,597 to benefit education, healthcare and other important causes in coastal Georgia and South Carolina.
 
The tournament attracted 138 players from across the region, including a number of Parker’s vendors, suppliers and supporters. Proceeds will directly benefit Georgia and South Carolina communities in areas where Parker’s operates convenience stores.
 
The winning team at the third annual golf tournament was Team Sawyer Law Group, which included Dr. Jeff Moss, Dr. Greg McCord, Bill Evans and Alex Brown. The scramble-format event also featured lunch, a raffle and Closest to the Hole, Longest Drive, Chip Off the Deck and Putting Contests.
 
“We are deeply committed to giving back to the communities where we do business,” said Greg Parker, president and CEO of Parker’s. “Our Fueling the Community program has been a tremendous success, but this additional support will enable us to make even more generous donations in the future. We’re grateful to everyone who supported this year’s golf tournament.”
 
In addition to delivering exceptional products and state-of-the-art services, Parker’s is considered an industry leader for its Fueling the Community program, which includes the monthly fundraiser, One Cent Wednesday. On the first Wednesday of each month, Parkers donates one cent from the sale of every gallon of gas sold across all 40 Parker’s locations to schools across Georgia and South Carolina, and to local medical centers, including Parker’s Emergency and Trauma Center at Memorial Hospital in Savannah.
