DCP reached out to important strategic partners who are major vendors working alongside DCP on delivering $4 billion in growth to support this event. Leadership and representatives from these vendors traveled from across the country.
"Our strategic partners stepped up in a very significant way to support this event for American Heart," said Wouter van Kempen, DCP's president of gathering and processing. "Through our partners' generosity, not only did we have an opportunity to spend quality time together talking about our shared goals, but we also made something really great happen for a healthier America."
DCP and its strategic partners raised $465,000 at the charity golf tournament. Coupled with DCP's employee giving program, it is anticipated that DCP will deliver an unprecedented $590,000 to AHA's Denver Heart Walk. DCP is in the running to be the top fundraiser among Heart Walks throughout the nation.
