Friends of the Homeless Fundraiser Golf Tournament
Join CSO at Springfield Country Club in West Springfield on Monday, July 22 at 12 Noon (11 Lunch)
Each year, nonprofit community behavioral health agency CSO provides trauma-informed, evidence-based care to more than 19,000 Western Mass. individuals and families. CSOโs Friends of the Homeless (FOH) program operates the largest emergency shelter in the state outside Boston, with 1,000+ adult guests annually and 160,000+ hot meals served to anyone in need of food.
Proceeds of the FOH Fundraiser Golf Tournament at the Springfield Country Club on Monday, July 25 will support CSO's Friends of the Homeless emergency shelter and supportive housing program, and help CSO expand the FOH campus to better serve more Great Springfield adults in need.
Your CHARITABLE ROLE
By participating in the Friends of the Homeless Fundraiser Golf Tournament, you join our generous sponsors in expanding the FOH campus. Our newly acquired property at 775 Worthington St. was formerly a night club, but with your help, CSO and FOH will use the space to better support more people in need within the Greater Springfield region.
Proceeds will support CSO's Friends of the Homeless emergency shelter and supportive housing program, and help CSO expand the FOH campus to better serve more Great Springfield adults in need.
Our Gold-Level Sponsors Anderson Cleaning and Genoa Healthcare encourage all our golfers to enjoy a great day โ for a good cause!
