Suffolk Construction Raises $110,000 at 5th Annual Golf Tournament

Fifth-Annual Event supports Home Safe and ABC Cares Foundation

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, May 18, 2011 – Suffolk Construction’s Red & Blue Foundation hosted its 5th annual Golf Tournament Friday, May 13th at Doral Golf Resort in Miami, Florida. A total of 240 golfers participated in the event which brought in more than anticipated raising $110,000 to benefit both Home Safe and ABC Cares of South Florida.

“We’re proud to have the strong support of Suffolk Construction, a well-respected company with a long and impressive track record of outstanding community service,” said Matthew Ladika, CEO of Home Safe.  “Suffolk Construction’s charitable golf tournament helps ensure the continuation of Home Safe programs that protect victims of child abuse and domestic violence, as well as help prevent such horrific acts from ever occurring. Thanks to the generosity of Suffolk Construction, Home Safe will continue serving more than 15,000 infants, children and families in south Florida each year.”

The tournament was initially developed through Suffolk’s leadership as a way to give back to the local communities.  "Even with the hard economic times, we had so many supportive sponsors for this year's event," said Rex Kirby, General Manager and President of Suffolk’s Southeast Region.  "This fundraiser helps so many families in our communities. We could not have had such a successful event without the dedication and commitment of our sponsors."

This year the tournament took place under sunny skies at one of the premier courses in Miami offering expertly designed championship courses.  The event brought in major key sponsors including Platinum Sponsors Acousti Engineering Co. of South Florida and R.C. Aluminum, Inc. who generously supported the effort through donations as well as participating in the event.

Proceeds for this year’s tournament went to Home Safe and ABC Cares Foundation, who each received a check for $55,000 to support their organization’s continued needs.
