A Day of Competition, Community, and Charity

Putting Core Values Into Action

Hamood’s personal contribution doubled the donation to $5,000, reinforcing the company’s dedication to its nonprofit partner. The team’s performance highlighted their collective commitment to community engagement while fostering a sense of unity and teamwork within the organization.
