Davenport, IA - Russell is pleased to announce that the Child Abuse Council Quad Cities was the recipient of the proceeds from the 29th Annual Charity Golf Outing held on Monday, September 11th at Crow Valley Golf Club in Davenport, IA.
Each year, the golf outing is organized in order to assist worthy organizations in surrounding Quad Cities communities. This year, the Child Abuse Council was selected to receive the $40,000 donation that was raised by Russell employees, sponsors, golfers, volunteers, sponsors and raffle contributors from the event. The donation is the second largest individual gift to the Child Abuse Council in its history.
“Our event has become so successful thanks to the efforts of everyone involved. It’s an event that we look forward to every year,” noted Jim Russell, President.
