Corporate Sponsors and Grantors
On behalf of the board of directors, staff and families served, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Turner Construction Company, from which we received the proceeds of their annual Turner Invitational Golf Tournament for the past three years. The total donated to SIDS Resources for the three year period is $108,069.00! Thank you Turner Construction!
Thanks seems like such an inadequate word to all our corporate sponsors and grantors without whose generosity SIDS Resources could not fulfill its mission. But we do say Thank You to our corporate supporters are truly appreciate their assistance in helping SIDS Resources achieve its mission.
