Hankin Group’s 35th Annual Golf Invitational recently raised a record-breaking $275,000 for the benefit of Handi-Crafters.
Almost 250 golfers gathered at the Whitford Country Club in Exton on the first Monday in October to raise funds for the Thorndale-based nonprofit that operates a work center that empowers individuals with disabilities to lead more independent, productive, and fulfilling lives.
“We couldn’t be happier with the turnout for this year’s event,” said Michael Hankin, Chief Operating Officer of Hankin Group. “There was representation of more companies than ever before, and we couldn’t be more thankful for everyone’s support. Handi-Crafters truly makes such a difference in the community, and it’s an honor to be a part of their influence.”
Since 2014, the year it began designating proceeds from its annual corporate golf outing to benefit Handi-Crafters, Hankin Group has helped to raise approximately $1.7 million for the organization.
Along with presenting sponsor Bentley Systems, Hankin Group hosted various hole contests, on-course refreshment stations, a luncheon, and an awards dinner.
“It was great day all around,” said Hankin. “My family is incredibly proud of how much the outing has grown over time. We look forward to next year and hope to set yet another record.”
