Sam and Catherine SusserOn May 6, more than 92 golfers and over 60 sponsors participated in the Susser Bank Golf Classic, benefiting the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The incredible turnout at the PGA Frisco Fields Ranch Golf Course in Frisco resulted in raising more than $180,000 to support the institution’s mission to end cancer. The entire costs of the event were underwritten by Arlington-based Susser Bank and the Susser family.
The evening before the tournament, Catherine and Sam L. Susser, chairman and CEO, extended their gratitude to the participants at a dinner held at their family home. Their words of appreciation echoed the sentiment of hope for a future free of cancer, made possible through the support of dedicated sponsors. Dr. Peter Pisters, president of MD Anderson, was the keynote speaker and his remarks about recent developments to end cancer were truly inspiring.
“MD Anderson is one of the world’s most respected centers devoted to eradicating cancer and serving patients battling this horrible disease,” Susser said. “Chances are, each of you has a personal stake in the fight against cancer. When I reflect on our family’s own experience walking alongside loved ones with the disease, I cannot fathom a world without MD Anderson and its exceptional caregivers, researchers and lifesaving technologies. Our family believes it is essential to invest in research and clinical trials with the goal of ending cancer, and there is no institution that is more impactful at this fight than MD Anderson.”
Established in 1959, Susser Bank has offices in Dallas, Arlington, Austin, Bedford, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, Garland, Houston, Plano, Round Rock and San Antonio. It has operated under the ownership and direction of Susser Banc Holdings Corp. since 2018.
