The Bruce Sumner Memorial Golf Outing

The Bruce Sumner Memorial Golf Outing

The Energy Cooperative raised more than $15,000 for its Operation Round Up Foundation at the annual Bruce Sumner Memorial Golf Outing. The outing occurred on Sept. 16 at Moundbuilders Country Club in Newark.

The fundraiser is named for The Energy Cooperative’s former vice president and chief operating officer of electric operations. Sumner was passionate about the Operation Round Up Foundation and chaired the golf outing planning committee. He spent countless hours working on the event — and raising many thousands of dollars each year. On October 8, 2019 The Energy Cooperative donated the proceeds from this outing to the Operation Roundup Foundation. A total of $15, 129 was donated as a result of this outing.
