The Whitford Charitable Fund Committee and 10 Chester County organizations recently attended a luncheon at the Whitford Country Club to celebrate the success of the Eighth Annual Whitford Classic.

More than $130,000 was distributed to this year’s beneficiaries:

• Safe Harbor of Chester County
• West Side Community Center
• Uptown! Entertainment
• Lasata Farm
• Coatesville Area Senior Center
• CVIM: Smiles for Jackie
• Downingtown Library
• Phoenixville Area Children’s Learning Center
• Great Valley Community Organization
• North Star of Chester County

Whitford Country Club members gathered together on a weekend in September to raise funds at their exciting event. A morning of ladies’ round robin tennis kicked off the weekend, the highlight of which was the gala on Friday night.

Whitford members, friends, and guests from the beneficiary organizations danced to live music, enjoyed great food, and participated in a silent and live auction.

There was a golf sponsor’s event on Saturday, when 124 golfers enjoyed a great day. Mother Nature won on Sunday and the Pro-Am was cancelled; however, the members and participating PGA professionals enjoyed lunch and an Eagles victory.

The Whitford Classic was created eight years ago by a few visionary members who wanted to create an opportunity to give something back to the community in which they work, play, and raise their families. To date, the Fund has granted more than $900,000 to local nonprofits.

The Whitford Charitable Fund truly does “connect people who care with causes that matter.”
