PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif., Feb. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Genesis Gives, the corporate social responsibility initiative of Genesis Motor America, donated $100,000 each to First Tee, the YMCA, and Good Sports for a total of $300,000. Ceremonial checks were presented to the three organizations during the Genesis Invitational at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.
“At Genesis, we take pride in offering world-class products with impeccable design and the highest standards of safety and performance,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer, Genesis Motor North America. “We are thrilled to support these incredible organizations as part of our corporate social responsibility initiative, Genesis Gives. Every child should have access to high-quality youth sport programs that allow them to be active and develop character in a safe, thriving environment.”
For the second year in a row, Genesis is partnering with organizations who are making an impact on the lives of children all across the nation, by increasing access to youth sports programs through the Genesis Gives initiative. Physical activity is critical to a child’s health and development – it reduces the risk of developing health conditions such as obesity, cancer, and heart disease. Students who are physically active are also shown to have improved cognitive performance, such as stronger concentration and memory. Kids who exercise are even shown to have better grades and attendance in school. Children who participate in organized youth sport programs learn the additional benefits of teamwork and improved social skills.
“First Tee is proud to have several alumni in the field at the Genesis Invitational this year, and we are so grateful to Genesis for its support,” said First Tee CEO Greg McLaughlin. “These funds will not only help the next generation of golfers, but also leaders who will go on to make a difference off the course.”
The below organizations received donations of $100,000 each:
