Due to COVID-19 limitations, our annual charity golf tournament had to be cancelled. With that said, our board approved a charitable gift match of $4,000. Dixie Electric donated up to $4,000 to match the donation of participants' player fees and/or sponsorships. The donations from the golf tournament participants surpassed our hopes and totaled $7,000. With the partnership between Dixie Electric and these committed individuals and businesses, we were able to support the local charities that were slated do benefit from the tournament.

Below are the charities and the designation for the funding:

Junior Auxiliary of Laurel's Secret Meals Program

Junior Auxiliary of Wayne County's Backpack Buddies Program

American Cancer Society, benefitting Jones, Wayne, Forrest and Perry counties in south Mississippi

First Baptist Church of Petal Secret Meals Program

Macedonia Baptist Church Secret Meals Program
