On Feb. 3 truckstop and travel plaza operators and industry suppliers will join together to support The ºÚÁÏÉçÇøFoundation at the ºÚÁÏÉçÇøFoundation Golf Tournament in Savannah, Ga. 

The funds raised support safety initiatives, such as Amber Alerts distributed in conjunction with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and scholarships for travel plaza employees and their families. The foundation also focuses on industry research and has released a number of studies on the economic contributions of interstate businesses as well as sales and offerings at travel plazas. In addition, the foundation provides resources to help the travel plaza industry better serve customers, such as information on providing healthy food options and complying with new Americans with Disabilities Act regulations.

The golf tournament will take place at The Club at Savannah Harbor, which is also the home to the PGA TOUR’s Champions Tour Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf Championship. The 18-hole course was created and designed by renowned architect Robert Cupp and “Slammin’ Sammy” Snead. The event is being held in conjunction with The ºÚÁÏÉçÇøShow, which will be held Feb. 2-6 at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center. 

Golf committee volunteers have spent countless hours to ensure the success of the event. Volunteers include Jeff Irwin, Mobil Delvac; Robert Lake, Randall-Reilly Publishing; Bill Mulligan, Pilot Flying J; Don Paddock, KSG Distributing; and Roger Phillips, Bridgestone Commercial Solutions.
