Spartan Motorshonored its commitment to the community and FedEx partnership through its 3rd annual sponsorship of the FedEx St. Jude Classic, this week, at the TPC Southwind private golf club in Tennessee.

“Supporting the community and our customers is something we’re committed to at Spartan Motors,” said Chad Heminover, fleet vehicles and services president. “Over the last three years, we’ve partnered with FedEx to donate to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. We thank our longstanding customer, FedEx, for hosting this outstanding event, and the wonderful patients of St. Jude Children’s Hospital for allowing us to visit. We’re honored to continue to support the fundamental research and treatments that take place because of St. Jude’s efforts.”
