Valero’s Benicia Refinery distributed $550,000 to local charities from funds raised through the Valero Texas Open (VTO) and Valero Benefit for Children (BFC).
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 Solano & Contra Costa area. The tournament is ranked #1 once again on the PGA TOUR in charitable fundraising.
“Right now, charity wins every round in Solano & Contra Costa County”, said Josh Tulino, Vice President and General Manager of the Valero Benicia Refinery. “We’re proud to partner with these agencies and work together to improve children’s lives in Solano & Contra Costa Counties.”
