LOS ANGELES – Genesis Motor America announced the launch of its new corporate social responsibility initiative Genesis Gives with inaugural donations of $100,000 each to First Tee, Girls on the Run and the U.S. Soccer Foundation. Ceremonial checks were presented to the three organizations during The Genesis Invitational at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.

'At Genesis, we are focused on delivering at the highest levels of performance with our world-class products,' said Claudia Marquez, Chief Operating Officer of Genesis Motor North America. 'Bringing our focus on performance to our corporate social responsibility efforts is a natural extension of our values and our partnership with The Genesis Invitational. We look forward to working closely with our Genesis Gives partners to enhance youth performance in sports and STEAM education in under-resourced communities nationwide.'

Genesis teed off its Genesis Gives initiative with partnerships focused on improving access to, and performance in, youth sports among under-resourced communities. Participation in sports provides children with a proven platform for developing critical life skills and learning valuable life lessons, including commitment, resilience, courage, collaboration and team work.

'We are grateful for partners like Genesis who share our values and passion for empowering youth through golf,' said First Tee CEO Greg McLaughlin. 'With support of our dedicated partners, we are opening the door to even more youth, especially in underserved and underrepresented communities, to explore the possibilities in golf and beyond as they build their character and life lessons through the game.'

The below organizations received donations of $100,000 each:

•First Tee: For 25 years, First Tee has been committed to helping kids build character strengths and important life skills through the game of golf and providing all children with access to opportunities for personal growth in a fun and safe environment.

•Girls on the Run: Girls on the Run is an after-school program designed to inspire girls of all abilities to recognize and embrace their inner strength. Lessons emphasize the important connection between physical and emotional health.

•U.S. Soccer Foundation: The U.S. Soccer Foundation has established programs proven to help children embrace an active and healthy lifestyle while nurturing their personal growth beyond sports.
