It was a perfect fall day for golf and a worthy cause, as the ATU celebrated 40 years of the ATU MS Golf Tournament with nearly 110 golfers from ATU Locals, sponsors, and guests in attendance.
International President John Costa and International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo addressed participants at the reception, thanking them for attending the tournament to raise funds for the ATU Multiple Sclerosis Research Fund to support ongoing research to help end MS. Costa also held a moment of silence for International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk, who did not attend due to the recent tragic passing of his beloved wife Barbara.
“Our Union has been doing this tournament for 40 years, and I’m proud that we’ve continued this tradition. I’ve been coming to this event for many years, and this has been one of our best,” Costa told the crowd. “Thank you to our IVPs, our Locals, members, sponsors, vendors, and everyone who showed up to raise funds for the ATU MS Research Fund to fight this debilitating disease. A special thank you to the staff for organizing this great event and coming out early to set up.”
Also in attendance were retired International Vice President Richie Murphy and members of the ATU General Executive Board. We appreciate everyone who came out to show your support for the ATU MS Research Fund and our Union.
