Logistics gives back

• Chandler, Ariz.-based logistics solutions provider American Group hosted its fifth annual "Loopers Against Leukemia" fundraising golf tournament on June 2. The event raised $10,000 for Rady's Children's Hospital, a San Diego pediatric facility that is the largest children's hospital in California.
  
  
• The Port of Los Angeles has allocated $1 million in grant funding to local nonprofits through its annual Community Investment Sponsorship Program. The program disburses up to $1 million annually to projects benefiting the communities surrounding the port and the Los Angeles waterfront. Among the 30 organizations that received grants were the Boys & Girls Club of Los Angeles Harbor, the Marine Mammal Care Center, and the Los Angeles Parks Foundation.
  
  
• Transport and logistics giant UPS Inc. awarded over $10 million in grants to advance diversity and inclusion programs this year, funding 44 different organizations focused on economic empowerment, education/scholarships, work training, and social and gender equality. Recipients included groups that support diversity and inclusion through economic and educational empowerment, capacity building, and human trafficking prevention.
  
  
• Dallas-based logistics service provider Transplace (in top photo) held a silent auction at its 16th annual Shipper Symposium, raising $20,000 for Kidd's Kids, a local charity that supports families of children with life-altering or life-threatening conditions. The funds will help recipients spend five days in Walt Disney World and have a chance to experience the exuberance of being "normal" kids.
  
  
• Calgary, Alberta-based Canadian Pacific Railway's "CP Has Heart" charitable arm donated $100,000 to the Heart Beats Children's Society of Calgary, a charity supporting families dealing with congenital heart disease. The funds were raised through the railroad's supplier golf tournament.
