The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation's 7th annual charity golf tournament and dinner at the Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club in Richmond raised $100,000 for community services.
"We are very pleased with the amount we raised," said Maggie Ip, chair of the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation. "Due to the increase in service demands and new challenges, we have to work even harder in order to provide S.U.C.C.E.S.S. with sufficient funding to meet community needs."
Initially launched in 2005, the tournament has become one of the three major annual fundraising events for the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation along with Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala and Walk with the Dragon.
The event brings the seven-year total in money raised to $700,000. Proceeds from the event have supported critical services and programs, which are either underfunded or not funded by the various levels of government, particularly those pertaining to seniors, women, youths and families.
"We are grateful for the support of our sponsors, players and volunteers," said Linda Wong, co-chair of the event.
