United States Auto Club, Motoring Division, Inc. hosted its 9th Annual USAC/MD Charity Golf Classic on Thursday, April 7, 2016 at Celebration Golf Club in Celebration, FL.  The event was in conjunction with the PWOF Tow Show in Orlando, Florida.

“USAC/MD is proud of the generosity of the golfers and sponsors, who over the years have faithfully supported the Survivor Fund”, says Matthew Miller, USAC/MD Golf Classic Chair.  “This year helped us reach just over $100,000 in donations to the Survivor Fund.  We are so thankful to everyone for making the Golf Classic such a successful event.”
