In addition to wearing BDO’s logo during tournament play, Valenzuela will join the company during various personal and promotional appearances throughout the year. BDO will also support the Alexis for Autism foundation, whose focus and purpose are to organize golf events to raise funds for associations, foundations and medical research for autism. To date, the charity has raised over $300,000 for autism-related research.
"On its surface, golf looks like an individual sport, but no one thrives alone. Success in sport and in business requires the collective efforts of a full team, and I felt a strong connection with the team at BDO. Their people-first culture and purpose to help people thrive, every day, is the type of culture I’m excited to be part of and represent." - Albane Valenzuela
