Carrington Charitable Foundation's 7th Annual Golf Classic raises more than $1.9 million for wounded Veterans


ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 270 golfers participated in the Carrington Charitable Foundation's (CCF) 7th Annual Golf Classic benefitting CCF's Signature Programs that support wounded American Veterans. The annual event, which took place October 9 at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast, Calif., raised more than $1.9 million for its initiatives that enable Mobility, Stability, Purpose and Prosperity for U.S. servicemen and women returning from post-9/11 battlefields. Carrington Charitable Foundation is the nonprofit organization of The Carrington Companies.

U.S. Army Master Sgt. John Masson was one of 12 wounded Veterans who participated in the Carrington Charitable Foundation's 7th Annual Golf Classic benefiting CCF's initiatives that enable Mobility, Stability, Purpose and Prosperity for U.S. servicemen and women returning from post-9/11 battlefields.

"Each year, it is inspiring to work with so many people who generously come together with the sole purpose of giving back to the Veterans and their families who have proudly served our country," said Rosemary Rose, Chairman, Carrington Charitable Foundation. "The tournament proceeds allow us to continue to support and expand the various CCF programs that assist and honor these heroes."

Since 2011, proceeds from the Golf Classic have directly supported CCF's Signature Programs, providing diverse ongoing assistance to Veterans and their families. Carrington Associates across the country also rallied together to support the event through a variety of initiatives that contributed to the overall fundraising efforts of the Golf Classic.

The distinguished annual event encompasses much more than a day of golf. After sunset on the course, more than 480 supporters attended an evening banquet and auction, during which Veterans and enthusiastic supporters spoke passionately about the importance of the Carrington Charitable Foundation's ongoing mission, which supports Veterans returning from post- 9/11 battlefields through its initiatives that provide:

"We love our new home," said U.S. Army Master Sgt. David Glenn, whose Carrington House home was completed in May of this year near Fort Bragg, North Carolina. "For the first time since my injury, I am independent and can fully participate at home and with my family. This would not be possible without the kindness and generosity of the Carrington Charitable Foundation."
