Golf For Good: Local Tournament Raises Funds & Awareness

Golf For Good: Local Tournament Raises Funds & Awareness

According to The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, every 14 minutes someone in the United States commits suicide.

Help raise awareness to this growing issue, and reach out to those affected by suicide at The AFSP National Capital Chapter 's Second Annual Charity Golf Tournament on May 23rd.

Last year, the organization was able to raise $18,000, which benefitted the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and their dedication to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education and advocacy programs.

The 18-hole golf tournament is located at one of the area’s nicest courses at Andrews Airforce Base in Md., and features a fully catered barbeque lunch and refreshments.

The tournament also incorporates contests and prizes including restaurant gift certificates, and paid vacations to Chicago, Florida, and San Francisco, as well as trophies for winning foursomes.  

Washington Humane Society Celebrates “Senior” Animals in May

From Jacquie Toppings: The Washington Humane Society (WHS) is recognizing long-time and older animal residents during this “graduation” season by waiving all adoption fees on its senior pets this weekend, May 18-20.

“Our adoption centers are temporary homes to hundreds of healthy, family-friendly animals, who became homeless through no fault of their own,” said Stephanie Shain, Chief Operating Officer, Washington Humane Society. “During this especially busy spring ‘baby animal season’ that has filled our facilities with new residents, we have a number of pets who have simply been overlooked, especially our older pets, and they often make perfect laid-back companions for busy Washingtonians.”
