2023 Golf Outing Results

HPCO Golf Outing Raises $20K for Its Mission

After months of planning and effort by dedicated committee members and volunteers, the first Heritage Palms Charitable Organization Inc. (HPCO) Golf Outing was a huge success, raising over $20,000. The mission of HPCO is to help HPGCC employees with unusual, unexpected expenses in times of need. The funds from this very successful and well supported fundraiser will enable HPCO to help employees in the months to come.

HPCO Vice President Allan Potechin said after the results were tallied: “The generous hearts of the HP community have provided a great benefit to our employee-based charity. After distributing almost $100,000 since our inception a year ago, we are rebuilding our coffers in anticipation of some critical need for any of our 200+ employees. A very hearty thanks to Traci, Bob, Larry and all the volunteers and staff that made the outing a great success.”
