for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Iowa


NEWS RELEASE (Des Moines) – Fareway Stores, Inc. recently partnered with the Muscular
Dystrophy Association (MDA) to host the 7th Annual Fareway Stores MDA Golf Classic at
Beaver Creek Golf Club in Grimes. The event raised over $110,900 for MDA of Iowa, making it
the best year for the golf tournament. Funds raised at this event will fund research and provide
health care services and support for MDA families across the state.
“For over 25 years, Fareway has proudly supported the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the
patients they serve,” said Frederick R. Greiner, Fareway President and Chief Operating Officer.
“The annual golf classic is another way we, along with our generous vendor partners, provide
necessary funding to help find a cure for these muscle-debilitating diseases.”
Fifty-five vendor retailers provided sponsorships and teams, making it a full tournament with 216
golfers. The event was presented by Dr. Pepper Snapple Group; other top sponsors included
Tyson Fresh Meats, Wells Blue Bunny, Cylinder Express and Red Bull. A silent auction, awards
and dinner presentation concluded the day.
“This event continues to grow each year and I am overwhelmed by the generosity of Fareway,
their vendors and the support they show MDA.,” said Brette Dowson, Director of Business
Development with MDA. “The funds raised at this event are crucial to local families here in Iowa
and helps fund ground-breaking research, a state of the art Care Center at the University of
Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and helps send kids to MDA Summer Camp where they make lifelong
friends and memories.”
