Minuteman Parking Company was proud to be the Crystal Sponsor of the Seattle Marriott Golf Classic last week in Seattle, WA. The golf tournament was held at Bear Creek Country Club and raised money to support Seattle Children’s Uncompensated Care program.

Since 1907 Seattle Children’s has been caring for children from the Pacific Northwest and around the Nation.  The funds raised from the Marriott Charity Golf Classic will be directed to Uncompensated Care at Children’s, which will ensure that no child is ever turned away due to their family’s inability to pay.  All of the donations support a healthier future for Seattle Children’s increasing number of patients. Each year, Children’s treats over 190,000 children, many of whose families cannot afford the cost of their medical care.  This year, the hospital expects to provide over $100 million in uncompensated care for those in need.

The day-long golf event was a huge success that ended with a dinner buffet and silent auction. Minuteman would like to thank all of the golfers who played in this year’s tournament. The team at Minuteman is fully committed to philanthropy and our Marriott partners in the Northwest.
