PEG Bandwidth Inaugural Charity Golf Tournament Raises Over $100,000 for Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation

PEG Bandwidth, LLC hosted its Inaugural Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, October 17, 2013, at The Tribute Golf Club, in The Colony, TX. The charity golf tournament raised over $100,000 net proceeds to benefit The Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation.

The Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation (MOHF) was founded in 2011 by PEG Bandwidth Co-Founder and SVP of Sales & Marketing, Greg Ortyl and his wife Becky. Its namesake, Oakes Ortyl, was the acorn from which the tree of MOHF has grown and flourished. It is his legacy that the foundation honors when it reaches out in individual, personalized, and powerful ways to assist needy families affected by the myriad challenges that congenital heart defects present. This charity golf tournament looks to help MOHF grow and assist more families in need across the country.

Tournament premium sponsors included Alcatel-Lucent as the Platinum Sponsor, Broadband Specialists Inc. as the Gold Sponsor and Ceragon and United Fiber and Data as the Silver Sponsors. Charles Marsh, President, North America for Alcatel-Lucent said, “Alcatel-Lucent is proud to support PEG Bandwidth and be part of a cause that’s bringing tremendous help to the lives of families dealing with the impact of congenital heart defects.” The tournament welcomed 144 golfers and over 60 sponsoring companies.
