IAM District 142 recently held its second annual charity golf tournament at Papago Golf Course in Phoenix. The event was organized to raise funds for Guide Dogs of America and Tender Loving Canines, a charity supported by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).
The fundraiser is known for being competitive among IAM districts. Money raised from the tournament, along with proceeds from games and donated prizes, will help fund the training and placement of service dogs. These dogs assist visually impaired individuals, veterans dealing with PTSD, and autistic children. All services provided by Guide Dogs of America and Tender Loving Canines are offered at no cost to recipients.
Staff members from Guide Dogs of America attended the event with puppies currently in training. They expressed their appreciation for the support received and noted the importance of the funds raised.

Attendees shared their enthusiasm for both the cause and the outcome of this year’s fundraising efforts.
