KBR Presents $100,000 Check to Sunshine Kids Foundation
HOUSTON - (September 15, 2016) - KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) announced today that KBR has donated $100,000 to the Sunshine Kids Foundation, a non-profit organization that adds quality of life to children with cancer by providing them with exciting, positive group activities.
KBR President and CEO Stuart Bradie presented a check to Sunshine Kids Foundation representatives including Sunshine Kid Sophia Sereni yesterday on the field at Minute Maid Park prior to the start of the Houston Astros' game. The Houston Astros, longtime supporters of the foundation, were hosting Sunshine Kids Day as part of their efforts to recognize Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Former Astros player, Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, is the National Spokesperson for the Sunshine Kids.
"KBR is delighted to continue our longstanding relationship with the Sunshine Kids and we are honored to support their worthy goal of giving these children amazing life experiences," said Bradie. "We look forward to continuing to support the Sunshine Kids both financially and through our employees who are active and enthusiastic volunteers."
"I can't thank KBR enough for their generosity," said Biggio. "I have been with the Sunshine Kids for 30 years and we are very grateful. Thank you."
KBR announced in August that the Sunshine Kids Foundation will again be a beneficiary of the tenth annual KBR Charity Golf Tournament which will be held on September 22, 2016 at the Kingwood Country Club. Over the last ten years, KBR's Charity Golf Tournament has raised over $4 million for more than 50 local and national nonprofit organizations.
