The Torch Employee Morale & Welfare Committee (EMWC) hosted its annual golf tournament on September 11 at Hampton Cove. Over 120 players participated and played the Highlands Course this year. Through the donations of the players and Torch Technologies, Torch CEO Bill Roark was pleased to present Bobby Bradley, CEO of the Village of Promise, with a check for $8,275 to benefit Village of Promise programs. At last year’s golf tournament, Roark presented Bradley with a check for $5,000. Bradley told participants that with the help of last year’s donation, over 75 families with new infants were served. Roark stated, “We are pleased that this annual event continues to grow each year, and we are excited to be able to partner with the Village of Promise in support of their invaluable programs.”
