KBR CEO Presents $100,000 to Sunshine Kids at Houston Astros Game
KBR recently presented a $100,000 check 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. Sunshine Kids Foundation was selected as a charity recipient of KBR's 2015 Charity Golf Tournament, which is put on by KBR's young professional group, IMPACT.
KBR President and CEO Stuart Bradie presented the check to Sunshine Kids Foundation representatives including Sunshine Kid Sophia Sereni on the field at Minute Maid Park prior to the start of the Houston Astros' game earlier this month. 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.
"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 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."
KBR announced in August that the Sunshine Kids Foundation will again be a beneficiary of the annual KBR Charity Golf Tournament. Over the last ten years, KBR's Charity Golf Tournament has raised over $4.5 million for more than 50 local and national nonprofit organizations.
