CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., September 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hikvision® USA, the North American leader in innovative, award-winning video surveillance products and solutions, recently sponsored a softball game that was held by Mission 500, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the needs of children and communities in crisis. This event was the first of its kind, bringing together representatives from dozens of security companies.
Held in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey on September 12, the game raised funds from members of the security industry to assist American children living in challenging circumstances.
"This softball game was a new and fun way for the security industry to come together and raise money for needy children in the U.S.," said George Fletcher, Advisory Council Member/Volunteer for Mission 500. "Our sponsors help us provide aid to those affected by poverty."
Hikvision USA was a platinum sponsor of the event and sales director Andy Johannsen played in the game. Alex Asnovich, director of marketing for Hikvision USA, also represented the company at the event. Proceeds from the event, which totaled $75,000, will be used to generate awareness of child poverty in America and directly support those in need.
