BULL Session delivers $$ to
six children’s charities, LCSA
BULL Session Charity Events
donated $317,000 to six Oregon
children’s charities that provide
life-changing treatment and ac-
commodations. The checks
were distributed Nov. 29 during
a ceremony at the offices of the
National Electrical Contractors
Association (NECA).
The BULL Session is a coali-
tion of business, union and labor
leaders who come together to
help provide support services
for children. The money was
raised at the 27th annual BULL
Session golf tournament and

Oregon Convention Center and
The Reserve Vineyards and
Golf Club, respectively. More
than 400 golfers took part in the
golf tournament this year.

the BULL Session has raised
$6,181,500 for the charities,
making it one of Oregon’s
largest charity events.
