IntegriCom was a sponsor of the Altamaha EMC & Fiber Charity Golf Classic benefitting the Burn Foundation of America. This golf tournament was held on October 6, 2022, at the Dublin Country Club in Dublin, GA.
IT Engineer Calvin Thain and IT Tech Intern Christian Gower worked our sponsorship hole proving great information and give-a-ways. Christian Gower, who is our summer intern, attends Georgia Southern University, which was not far from the event.
President Joel Thain and Sales Manager Rob Drake were the IntegriCom players in the golf tournament. It was a great day for golf and over $25,000 was raised for the Burn Foundation of America.
IntegriCom client Altamaha Electric Membership Corporation was chartered as a member-owned cooperative in May 1936, with headquarters in Lyons, Georgia. Although most cities already had electricity when Altamaha Electric Membership Corporation was organized, less than 10 percent of the nation’s farms and rural residents were so fortunate because private power companies refused to serve areas that were unprofitable. Altamaha EMC is one of the 42 electric cooperatives that were formed when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 7037 in 1935, creating the Rural Electrification Administration (REA).
The Burn Foundation of America aids families of burn patients being treated at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, GA. This includes lodging at the Chavis House, daily meals, and transportation – all free of charge. In addition, the Burn Foundation also assists patients upon their discharge with services related to their return to independent living. This includes medication, anti-scarring garments, and transportation to follow-up appointments.
