Whole Foods Market Aventura Scores a Hole-in-One for KIDS IN DISTRESS!

On October 9th, Whole Foods Market Aventura proudly sponsored the Hallandale Beach Golf Tournament at the Diplomat Golf Course, which raised $13,000 to benefit Kids In Distress; a local community-supported agency providing services for the prevention and treatment of child abuse in South Florida.
Although temperatures were well over 90 degrees, players from throughout the community came out to support the cause; including four of our own team members!
We were happy to provide players with lunches, beverages and fresh fruit to keep them hydrated throughout the daylong tournament. One player was so appreciative, they sent an email: “Keep it simple and fun - you achieved that. The boxed lunches were great … they tasted good and were socially responsible. Whole Foods - way to go! I loved that!”
We had a great time participating and our team members are already looking forward to next year’s event!
