Valero’s Benicia Refinery distributed $500,000 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, raised more than $16 million in net proceeds for charitable organizations across the U.S., including those in the San Francisco Bay Area. The tournament is ranked #1 in charitable giving on the PGA TOUR this year.
“We’re driven to make a difference for our community,” said Josh Tulino, Vice President and General Manager of the Valero Benicia Refinery. “We’re proud to continue supporting these agencies and all they do to improve children’s lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
