CLOSEST TO THE PIN & CLOSEST TO OUR HEARTS
Miller Industries Teams Up with Marietta Wrecker Service to Donate $5,000.
Ooltewah, TN –Miller Industries Towing Equipment Inc. is pleased to announce the winner of the Survivor Fund Golf Classic “Closest to Pin” contest prize. This year’s Closest to Pin winner is Mr. Jeff Lougee. What is special about this year’s prize is that Miller Industries and Marietta Wrecker Service have teamed up to donate $10,000 to the Survivor Fund in the winner’s (Mr. Lougee’s) name.
Miller Industries has always been a large supporter of the Survivor Fund and the annual Golf Classic, which is held in Orlando, FL. The Survivor Fund helps provide funding to the surviving families of tow operators that have fallen in the line of duty, and the annual golf event helps raise money for the fund. This year Miller Industries sponsored the Closest to Pin contest with a prize of $5,000 to be donated to the Survivor Fund on behalf of the winner.
The Welchel family and Marietta Wrecker Service have also been longtime supporters of the Survivor Fund. “We wanted to continue to support the Fund, so I asked Miller Industries if we could match their donation again this year to help provide greater funding for the families of those lost in tragedy in the towing and recovery industry. This year the purpose of the event hits closer to home with the recent losses of operators, Toby Bowden of Parker’s Wrecker Service and Troy Simon of All Georgia Towing here in Atlanta” – Steve Welchel. Their matching sponsorship brought the donation total up to $10,000 for the Survivor Fund. Miller Industries and Marietta Wrecker Service extend their heartfelt appreciation to all those that participated in and supported the annual Survivor Fund Golf Classic.
