In late October 2009, CarLocate.com helped sponsor the inaugural Highland Creek Golf Classic in Charlotte, NC. As is the case with many charity events, it can take some time to get in the final totals. CarLocate.com is now happy to share that the event raised more than $7,000 to benefit the Hendrick Marrow Program and Be The Match^®!!!

In addition to the money raised, organizers noted that a donor registry drive at the golf event recruited a number of new potential donors to the Be The Match Registry^®, the largest and most diverse registry of volunteer marrow donors in the world. Each year, thousands of patients learn they need a marrow transplant to survive but have no donor match in their family. They rely on the kindness of strangers and hope to find an unrelated donor on Be The Match Registry.

"This is a great cause and it's gratifying to be able to support the work of organizations like the Hendrick Marrow Program," said Nicole Case, general manager of CarLocate.com.  "We're pleased the inaugural Highland Creek Golf Classic was successful in raising both awareness and funds to support marrow donation."
