In May, LATICRETE sponsored Daltile Atlanta’s charity golf event at the Bear’s Best Golf Course in Suwanee, Ga., to benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

At the 2009 annual event, more than 150 tile and stone industry professionals gathered at Bear’s Best Atlanta to raise more than $8,000 to benefit pediatric care at the hospital. LATICRETE Director of Sales Ron Nash was joined by the LATICRETE National Accounts Manager James Owens, LATICRETE Regional Sales Manager from North Carolina, Rob Smith, and LATICRETE Technical Sales Rep for Atlanta, Adam Marks.

On the golf course, Smith and Owens played in a foursome with Joe Pierce and Bud Upton from Tiede-Zoeller, a long-time member of the LATICRETE Most Valued Partner program.
