NAIOP Massachusetts held its 29^th Annual Charitable Golf Tournament on June 22^nd, raising $200,000 to support Heading Home, Inc.’s programs to end homelessness. The amount brings the total amount donated to Heading Home to more than $2.9 million and maintains NAIOP’s role as Heading Home’s largest corporate donor. Heading Home’s mission is to end homelessness in Greater Boston by providing a supported pathway to self-sufficiency that begins with a home, together with critical services such as life skills, financial literacy, and job training. To learn more about Heading Home and the vital services it provides, please visit www.headinghomeinc.org.

Our industry continues to come together, in good times and bad, to show support for the homeless families and individuals served by Heading Home. We are especially proud of our member volunteers, our staff, and our generous donors who helped us reach our goal for this donation. Special thanks goes to our Golf Committee and John Myers of Redgate, in particular, who chaired the event committee.

Held at a new location this year, The International, this signature CRE tournament drew nearly 270 golfers from all sectors of the commercial real estate industry for a day of fun, networking, and fundraising. The International is a golfer’s paradise that features two award-winning 18-hole golf courses, including The Pines, designed by Robert Trent Jones.

NAIOP Massachusetts thanks this year’s many sponsors and donors who gave so generously to this event, particularly Redgate, who served as Platinum Sponsor; Gold Sponsors National Development, New England Development and Newmark Grubb Knight Frank; and Pin Flag Sponsor Callahan Construction Managers. It is only through their support that the tournament is able to raise funds needed to help Heading Home accomplish its goal of ending family homelessness.

We are already looking forward to June 14, 2018 for another great tournament and, together, taking one more step towards ending homeless.
