On Monday, April 20th, SPIRCO/Metal Building Products hosted the Agape Child & Family Services annual Kid’s Classic Golf Tournament at the illustrious TPC Southwind.  SPIRCO/Metal Building Products serves as the title sponsor for this annual tournament, which has raised over $450,000 in support of Agape in the past 4 years.  These funds go towards serving Agape’s mission of helping children and families in need through adoption, foster care, counseling, mentoring, homeless services, home-based services and more.

 Barry Sims, president of SPIRCO notes that the fit between his organization and Agape is a perfect match.  “Our foundations are very similar,” says Sims. “We’re both faith-based organizations, and believe that giving back to the community in which we live is crucial to its success.”  The company name SPIRCO was derived from the words “spirit” and “company” while the word Agape is the Greek word for “love”.  The event was a success, and the funds raised will further Agape’s reach in the local community.
 With offices in Memphis (111 Racine) and Jackson, TN, Agape Child & Family Services is a Christian-based organization which provides children and families with healthy homes in the regional area through adoption, foster care, mentoring, counseling, homeless services and maternity services. Agape will serve at least 30,000 children, adults and families this year through its services.  For more information on Agape Child & Family Services or to find out how you can become part of the effort to adopt, foster, mentor and support the children in our community, call 901.323.3600 or visit www.AgapeMeansLove.org.
