Valero Renewable’s Aurora plant will distribute $25,000 to local charities from funds raised through the Valero Texas Open and Valero Benefit for Children.
This year the tournament and associated events, including the BFC, generated a record-breaking $22 million in net proceeds for charitable organizations across the country, including those in the Brookings area. The tournament is ranked No. 1 once again on the PGA Tour in charitable fundraising.
“Right now, charity wins every round in Brookings,” said Brian Brinkman, plant manager in Aurora. “We’re proud to partner with these agencies and work together to improve children’s lives in South Dakota.”
Valero Benefit for Children local recipients are: Brookings Back Pack Project, pictured left, and Project Avera McKennan Expecting and New Parent/Caregiver Support Invention Service.
