Worldwide Mission Critical (WWMC), recently named #1 on the Washington Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Companies of 2025 list, hosted its biannual Data Center Open golf tournament on Monday, October 27 at River Creek Club. The event, launched in 2024, raised $100,000 in support of PGA Hope, a non-profit dedicated to enhancing the physical, mental, social and emotional well-being of Veterans and Active Duty Military through the game of golf.

WWMC, a comprehensive firm serving the mission-critical data center industry, employs several veterans, making PGA Hope a natural beneficiary for the tournament. Event organizers shared that the charity’s mission resonated deeply with the company’s values and its team members.

“We are blessed and fortunate to be in the industry we are in today, and we believe in giving back to the community," said Brad Gray, WWMC’s Principal. “Supporting veterans who put their lives on the line for our safety each and every day is both meaningful and humbling.”
