Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.

More than 120 golfers, including the most female golfers ever, came out for the 38th Annual Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) MS Golf Tournament. ATU locals, sponsors and guests raised funds for the ATU Multiple Sclerosis Research Fund to support ongoing research to help end MS.

International President John A. Costa, International Secretary-Treasurer Kenneth R. Kirk and International Executive Vice President Yvette Trujillo addressed participants at the reception, thanking them for attending the tournament and supporting the ATU MS Research Fund.

“I’ve been coming to this event for many years, and this is one of the biggest ATU MS Golf Tournaments ever. Our Union has been doing this tournament for 38 years, and I am proud that we have continued this tradition,” Costa said. “Thank you to our IVPs, our Locals, members, sponsors, and everyone who showed up to raise funds for the ATU MS Research Fund to fight this debilitating disease. And thank you to International Secretary-Treasurer Ken Kirk and staff for once again organizing a great event.”
