"We’re proud to continue our long history of building-up and supporting our local community, Mi Escuelita has a special place in our hearts," said Ray Sedey, Texas Region president. “This year we increased the amount raised by 100 percent. It was really awesome to see our folks come together, have a great time and benefit the children at Mi Escuelita Preschool.”
During the golf tournament luncheon a check for $50,000 was presented to Gayle Nave, president and CEO of Mi Escuelita.
"We are so thankful to have a company like McCarthy supporting the work we do at Mi Escuelita," said Nave. "The lives of hundreds of children are certainly enhanced by McCarthy’s donations of funds and commitment to our cause over the years. McCarthy has helped us lay the foundation on which these deserving children will build their future.”
