Oakton, VA (May 12, 2023)— PRS 3rd annual golf tournament hosted by The Alliance Group, CBRE, and Cassaday & Company on May 8th raised more than $83,000 to benefit the mental health nonprofit’s Outpatient Therapy Program. The event, held during Mental Health Awareness Month, brought in 32% more than last year when it raised $63,000.
“We are grateful to our generous–and fun—business community that understands the importance of mental health for our community. We appreciate the extraordinary efforts of Alliance, CBRE, and Cassaday & Co for helping connect us with these businesses. Their generosity and leadership are making it possible for more people to have access to our life-saving and life-changing programs,” explained Joseph Getch, CEO, PRS. “Bringing local business leaders together encourages even more dialogue and movement to create a healthier community.”
