  • TGB Group Sponsors Golf Fundraiser Event

    TGB Group Sponsors Golf Fundraiser Event

    Nearly 200 Rail Industry Golfers Participated

    For the fifth consecutive year, TGB Groups has helped to sponsor the annual golf fundraiser held by the Southwest Association of Rail Shippers (SWARS). This year’s event happened at the Trails of The Woodlands club in The Woodlands, Texas.

    The October 2, 2020 golf fundraiser event was attended by 196 golfers from companies associated with the rail industry.

    TGB group sponsored the 7th hole on the Oaks Course, one of two courses at the Trails of The Woodlands. For this hole, the winner would be the golfer who could hit the longest drive. That honor went to Mark Dearing, owner of Vertex Builders.

    Other incentives at the SWARS golf fundraiser included the longest putt, the closest approach shot and a $10,000 hole-in-one challenge.

    Golf fundraiser benefits a scholarship fund

    As in years past, the golfing event raised money for the George Elking, Jr. Scholarship Fund.

    Elking is known within the rail industry, having served as SWARS president in 1995 and then as president of the North American Association of Rail Shippers in 1998.

    TGB Group is always excited to play in the golf fundraiser event and help support the Elking scholarship. Our employs have participated for the past 15 years, and we’ve been a proud hole sponsor since 2016.

    The large turnout of nearly 200 golfers shows the unity of many companies within the rail industry. We’re like a brotherhood – and sisterhood – who have built multiple industry connections and always enjoy getting reacquainted with the folks who make railroads run.

    SWARS meetings

    The golfing event fundraisers are held twice a year, always in conjunction with official SWARS meetings. We encourage individuals and companies in the rail industry to be part of the meetings, where critical information is discussed and to get involved in the golf fundraiser as a player or sponsor, where a good time is always guaranteed.

    Here’s a recap of our last SWARS golfing event.

    TGB Group Now Members of Local Better Business Bureau

    Membership doesn’t establish our reputation – it only confirms it

    The Better Business Bureau has been around for more than 100 years, and it has been a goal of ours to become a member of it.  Now we’ve reached that goal.

    Since we were founded in 2016, we’ve had a single goal every single day: to provide the highest quality of service to our clients with unquestioned integrity on every project we undertake.  We’re thrilled to be part of the BBB and to proudly display its logo, but we’re not looking to any outside organization to bolster our professional reputation – we’ll see to that ourselves.

    What it takes to be in the BBB

    Being a BBB member tells potential clients who know nothing about you that your business is credible and above-board in its dealings.  It’s kind of like a calling card that goes before you and can open many doors.

    Becoming a Better Business Bureau member requires meeting a list of requirements including:

    • Positive track record in doing business
    • Honesty in selling and advertising
    • Fair representation of products and services in the marketplace
    • Abiding by all written and verbal business agreements
    • Aggressive protection of its customers’ stored personal information and data
