A Good Walk Spoiled

Wasn't that how Mark Twain described the game of golf? Well, in this case the game of golf was a good way to raise money for an excellent cause- inclusion! Mitsubishi Electric America held their annual Hallway Golf competition in their plants around the US, and KIT was selected as the national charity for the event. This means that half of the money raised at each of the 9 events will be donated to KIT to support its important work. The other half is donated within each plant's community.


KIT CEO Jan Giacinti was able to attend the event in Orange County, CA. She reported that Mitsubishi workers designed miniature golf holes that were fun and creative with a theme of "cartoons." Students from Rancho Alamitos High School both participated in the event and voted on their favorite hole. The winning hole from each event gets shipped to the headquarters for their big, culminating event. The winning hole in the Southern California event was Finding Nemo.



KIT is grateful for the on-going support of Mitsubishi Electric America and excited that the Mitsubishi staff members around the country recognize the importance of inclusion. Thank you, Mitsubishi!
