Marathon Petroleum recently hosted its annual MPCgives Invitational golf and networking event, which raised a record amount for five national nonprofit organizations. The longstanding event was held in San Antonio, Texas, in October.

Together with the support of more than 200 generous sponsors and partners, MPC raised $2.8 million that will be distributed among the five nonprofits.

“At MPC, our community investment strategy is centered around strengthening communities and helping make people’s lives better,” said MPC’s Executive Vice President of Refining Tim Aydt. “100% of these generous sponsorship proceeds will be directed to organizations that advance our key areas of focus: workforce development, sustainability, and thriving communities.”

This year, the money raised will be distributed among the following organizations:

• American Red Cross
• Junior Achievement
• United Service Organizations – USO
• International Bird Rescue
• The Giving Grove
