The annual Maryland DC Wireless Association Golf Tournament was held on September 12 at the Whiskey Creek Golf Club in Ijamsville, Maryland, bringing together members of the association, as well as friends, colleagues and community members for a relaxing day of golf. This year’s tournament raised over $30,000, benefitting numerous charities throughout the state of Maryland and beyond. Miller, Miller & Canby was proud to once again support the event as a Bronze Sponsor for the 8th consecutive year.

Since 2009, the Maryland DC Wireless Association has made it part of its mission to help raise money for local charities through various events, partnering with organizations that have included Toys For Tots, Warriors4Wireless, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and many more. The MDDCWA Annual Golf Tournament is one of its most successful fundraisers; to date, the MDDCWA has donated more than $200,000 to benefit local charities.
