November 7, 2022 (Atlanta, GA) -- Bruder Healthcare’s CEO Brent Jones and Controller Matthew Bruder met up with 60 other golfers today at the Chestatee Golf Club in Dawsonville to sponsor and play in the Inaugural Philanthropy Golf Tournament to benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Huntsman Cancer Foundation. University of North Georgia chapters of the Sigma Chi Fraternity and Phi Mu Sorority hosted and organized the event, raising $6,500 in net proceeds from 26 sponsors in this first-year tournament.

“Any time we can get leaders like Bruder Healthcare and others together to help raise awareness and funding for causes such as these, it’s a win-win,” said organizers Isaac Godfrey (Sigma Chi) and McKenzie English (Phi Mu). “Improving the quality of people’s lives is at the core of Bruder, which is why this event was so important to us,” said Brent Jones. “Since my father started this company, our passion has been to improve lives through health,” added Matthew Bruder.

Each tournament participant received a gift bag with two different moist heat compresses – Eyeleve®, designed to extend contact lens wear time and Samureye®, geared towards video game enthusiasts – as well as a discount on future purchases. (Bruder is extending the 10% discount to the public through the remainder of 2022 with promo code FOREUNG22.)
