Cemex USA held its second annual 5k Quarry Quest race at the FEC Quarry in Miami.
The race supported Special Olympics Florida – Miami-Dade County, a local chapter of the sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities.
More than 250 people ran or walked through the limestone quarry, getting an up-close look at operational machinery, including haul trucks, loaders and draglines. At the end of the event, Cemex presented Special Olympics Florida – Miami-Dade County with a $10,000 donation check from the Cemex Foundation, the company’s philanthropic organization that provides charitable and community support.
“Cemex is proud to live and work in a community that comes together to share in a unique experience while giving back,” says Jeff Bobolts, Cemex USA regional president of the Florida region. “We enjoy opening our facility to the public to show exactly where the high-quality materials used for regional construction and development come from.”
FEC Quarry was established in 1974 and currently produces more than 8 million tons of crushed stone each year. The facility is also leading the way in Cemex’s digital transformation with Cemex Go Quarry Link, a pilot program utilizing technology to maximize efficiency for its customers.
