ARLINGTON, Va.--()--Planned Systems International, Inc. (PSI), a respected provider of information technology (IT) solutions and services to the federal government, announced that a record amount was raised for charity at its 14th Annual Golf Invitational held October 15, 2010 at Argyle Country Club in Silver Spring, MD. Over 160 players and many volunteers came out for a great day of golf that helped raise funds for cancer victims and their families.
“It means a lot to us, especially in the recovering economy, that golfers were willing to invest in our mission to make the cancer journey easier for area children with cancer and their families.”
Funds raised from the event totaled $29,358. With PSI's 100% matching donation, a total of $58,716 was collected. Of this amount, $36,500 will be donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and $22,216 will go to Special Love, a nonprofit organization benefiting victims of Ewing's sarcoma, a cancer affecting children and young adults. This year's donations represent an increase of approximately $18,000 over the amount raised by PSI last year.
"From the inception of our charity golf invitational, our mission has been to bring together Government customers, partnering companies, friends and supporters to raise money and increase awareness for a very worthy cause," said Terry Lin, CEO, speaking from PSI's new office building in Arlington, Virginia. "It is with great appreciation that we thank all who participated for their overwhelming generosity and support to make this event a success."
Dave Smith, CEO of Special Love, said, “It means a lot to us, especially in the recovering economy, that golfers were willing to invest in our mission to make the cancer journey easier for area children with cancer and their families.”
“We are grateful for the continued generosity of PSI, Mr. Lin, and all the people that have joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in the fight against blood cancers,” said Steve Reinker, Sports Events Campaign Manager for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
