Every year, Marathon Petroleum’s Robinson refinery in Illinois takes part in an annual charity golf tournament benefiting the local United Way. The two-day tournament took place May 24-25 at Robinson’s Quail Creek Country Club. Employees and contractors helped raise over $140,000 for the United Way of Crawford County, which is $30,000 more than last year’s event. The proceeds will support the United Way’s 2023 campaign focused on education, health and financial stability.

“Our event organizing team, led by Carly Holscher, worked so hard to ensure we maximize our contribution to the United Way of Crawford County,” said Amy Macak, General Manager of the Robinson refinery.

This year’s donation will also support the nonprofit’s Tornado Relief Fund, benefiting those impacted by the tornado in March that killed three people in Crawford County and left a trail of destruction in its path.

“This year will be an especially challenging one for our community as we work together to support the many families impacted by the tornado, in addition to supporting our annual campaign,” said Barb Shimer, Community Resource Representative at the United Way of Crawford County. “Having strong community partners like Marathon is critical in times like this as we all work together to rebuild our community and support those in need.”
