NEWARK – Artesian Resources Corporation announce its 12th Annual Charitable Golf Outing raised nearly $140,000, bringing the twelve-year total to about $740,000.

The following charities, among others, will benefit from their sponsorship:

“As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Easterseals Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore, we are especially appreciative of the support of our community partners like Artesian who help us to continue our mission to create a more inclusive community,” Easterseals president/CEO, Ken Sklenar, said. “This funding translates into therapies for children, programs for seniors, respite for weary caregivers and employment training and support for eager jobseekers with disabilities.”
