Key sponsors of the 2nd Annual Caliber Classic Golf tournament included:

  • Silver Sponsors – All Data, Chief Automotive Technologies, Garmat, Global Finishing Solutions and Johnson & Sekin Advertising

“Steve’s leadership and passion are truly inspiring,” said Kathryn Allen, regional senior vice president at the American Heart Association. “We are fortunate to have him and his team involved in this year’s Côtes du Coeur campaign to fund critical cardiovascular research and heart health educational programs both locally and nationwide. We appreciate the talent and dedication of the thousands of Caliber associates who have joined us in our fight against heart disease and stroke.”

Grimshaw and his wife Melissa have been supporting the American Heart Association for more than 10 years. Grimshaw has served on the board of the American Heart Association for the past three years.
