PHOENIX Ariz. (November 11, 2019) – Members of the military and first responders are heroes to those they serve, and Ready Logistics is honored to provide support and thank them for their sacrifice as the title sponsor of the 11th annual Swing Fore Our Heroes golf tournament. A Cox Automotive brand headquartered in Phoenix, Ready Logistics is the national leader in providing full-service vehicle shipping needs for the automotive industry.
The November 2 event in Scottsdale hosted 150+ golfers and raised $100,000 for the Marine Raider Foundation and Mission2Alpha. “Ready Logistics’ ‘Gung Ho!’ spirit has been critical to accomplishing our mission to help those who have sacrificed the most,” said Andrew Christian, executive director of the Marine Raider Foundation and retired Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Marine Corps.
The Marine Raider Regiment is part of U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC) and named for the elite World War II Marine Raiders unit. The Marine Raider Foundation provides benevolent support to active duty and medically retired MARSOC Raiders and their families, as well as to the families of Raiders who have lost their lives in service to the nation. Since 2012, the organization has provided more than $4 million in support to MARSOC Marines, sailors and their families. Mission2Alpha is a nonprofit organization that serves injured military and first responder heroes on the road to recovery.
“Supporting the communities we serve is in our company’s DNA,” said Bob Taar, associate vice president, Central Dispatch/Ready Logistics.” “Helping the heroes who sacrifice for us daily is a cause that our employees, clients and vendors have rallied around.”
Manheim Phoenix and Manheim Tucson, part of the Cox Automotive family, also supported the tournament as event sponsors. “Our teams at Manheim Phoenix and Manheim Tucson want to thank MARSOC Raiders and their families for their service to our country,” said JD Daniels, general manager, Manheim Phoenix. “We are committed to providing support to the Raiders and giving back to those that gave selflessly to us.”
