Oxnard, Calif.-based Mission Produce Inc. says its 12th annual golf tournament benefit raised more than $100,000 for The Mission Foundation.

This year’s event took place at the Moorpark Country Club in Moorpark, Calif., and gathered 160 participants from around the globe, according to a news release.

“The continued success of our annual tournament is a testament to the shared commitment of our vendors, customers, and partners to make a meaningful impact on our surrounding communities,” Mission Produce CEO Steve Barnard said. “Their generous support of The Mission Foundation enables us to drive positive change, and we’re grateful to celebrate their unwavering dedication and partnership.”
