King City, Ontario -- Enterprise Mobility held its 27th annual charity golf tournament on July 8, raising $145,000 as part of their ongoing efforts to combat food insecurity in Canada. Stakeholders from Canada’s insurance and replacement industry came together to raise funds and awareness for Food Banks Canada, a key partner of Enterprise’s Fill Your Tank program.
In addition to the tournament raising the most successful amount yet, Enterprise made a 50 percent match towards Food Banks Canada’s After The Bell program, which provides children with nutritious meals during the summer when school-centred support is not available.
Enterprise Mobility’s Fill Your Tank program has been fighting hunger by providing funding for local food banks and key partner organizations in North America and Europe since 2016. The Fill Your Tank program intends to donate $30 million to Food Banks Canada by 2030.
Enterprise Mobility partners attended the event and the golf tournament was followed by a reception and remarks from Enterprise Mobility’s executive team. Food Banks Canada has been addressing food insecurity for 40 years, sharing more than $829 million in food support and $245 million in funding since 2010.
“Food insecurity remains a critical issue in towns and neighbourhoods across Canada, and often does not get the attention it rightly deserves,” said Jennifer Everett, vice president of sales, replacement & leisure division Canada at Enterprise Mobility. “We’re thrilled with the support we’ve received from our partners and sponsors year in and year out at this event as we look to further our support of Food Banks Canada’s overall mission.
“It is nice to see everyone getting together to support a great cause,” stated Sonia Bouthillette, vice president of sales and operations in Canada for Fix Network. “There is no single banner: everyone is just getting together.”
