SPENCER, Iowa — Arnold Motor Supply partnered with several aftermarket entities to host a charity golf tournament that raise $40,000 to benefit children with life-threatening challenges.
Arnold Motor Supply's 32nd annual golf and leisure event held recently benefited Tori's Angels, a foundation that Tori's Angels pays for all medical and travel expenses not covered by insurance for sick children. Each child is supported from the date of acceptance until his/her 19th birthday.
"Tori's Angels changes the lives of children and families across Iowa and beyond," Eric Johnson, managing partner at Arnold Motor Supply, said. "The son of one of our team members was accepted as the foundation's 89th sponsored child. Alongside our valued channel partners, we were able to raise enough to help approximately eight more families."
Arnold Motor Supply also recognized several partners at the event, including BBB Industries, which was named during Vendor of the Year "for the outstanding value they bring to the stores and distribution centers."
Brad Edwardson, vice president of business development at Arnold Motor Supply, said the company parntered with BB on a new category this year and saw immediate results.
Brian Bouwkamp and Craig Johnson of The Heartland Group were named Reps of the Year. The Heartland Group represents Rotary wheel service products and related automotive and industrial equipment.
In addition, Russ Wilshusen of Schnair Sales was named the Agency Partner of the Year, a new award, for " going above and beyond, including helping with new store setups."
