BASF pledges $25K to Disaster Relief Fund

BASF donated $25,000 to the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) Disaster Relief Fund. The donation will help GCSAA to provide immediate financial assistance to its members suffering job loss due to the effects of COVID-19.

“A significant number of our team members are former superintendents,” said Stephanie Jensen, director of BASF Professional & Specialty Solutions. “We are deeply committed to supporting the industry through this unprecedented time and proudly partner with GCSAA to help provide financial relief to those members in need.”

The GCSAA created the Disaster Relief Fund in 2006 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It continues today as a resource for members who face tragedy caused by natural disasters by providing the opportunity for peers in the industry to help each other through monetary donations.

“BASF has shown great generosity by helping GCSAA members who are in need during these unprecedented times,” GCSAA CEO Rhett Evans said. “They have been longtime supporters of our members, and this gift is further evidence of that.”
