“I have had the privilege of being a part of the Shamrock Bowl for many years now, but each year, I am truly amazed by the outpouring of generosity and support that comes from all our sponsors, donors, and contributors,” stated Jim Cristman, CITGO Lemont Vice President and General Manager. Cristman also added that CITGO Lemont Refinery has raised more than $1.3 Million for MDA through its bowling event since its inception.
“We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support that CITGO Petroleum Corporation, its employees, vendors, marketers, and retailers have provided to the Muscular Dystrophy Association over the past 39 years,” said Ruth Ann Dailey, Chief Development Officer, Muscular Dystrophy Association. “CITGO continues to set the standard for corporate philanthropy, fueling our mission to empower families to live longer, more independent lives.”
Funds raised through the CITGO – MDA partnership events contribute to important medical breakthroughs. There are currently more than 20 drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat neuromuscular disease, with two of those approved in 2024 alone. For 75 years, MDA has led the way in accelerating research, advancing care, and advocating for the support of our families. MDA’s mission is to empower the people we serve to live longer, more independent lives.
