Maryland 2021 — The McKee Group hosted the 15th annual Frank A. McKee Golf Classic on Thursday, September 30th at White Clay Creek Country Club at Delaware Park. Employees, partners, vendors, friends and family turned out to support the highly anticipated charity event. This year’s proceeds, totaling a record $106,000, will be donated to Home of The Sparrow.
“It is important to us at The McKee Group that we give back to our community, so we are grateful that this event is so successful,” said McKee Builders Vice President, Frank J. McKee, Jr.“We want to thank all of the donors and volunteers who supported the event or came out to participate. We had the most golfers ever attend and play in the tournament this year. So a big ‘thank you’ to all.”
The annual Frank A. McKee Golf Classic raises money for a different charity each year. This year’s organization, Home of the Sparrow, provides support for single women and mothers who are in danger of losing their homes in Chester County. In addition to offering housing services, the non-profit organization provides a long-term safety net, access to crucial resources, and trauma-informed support.
As Frank J. McKee, Jr., who is a member of the board, notes, “This incredible organization helps women to secure housing, achieve stability, and chart new futures. Chester County is the wealthiest county in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, yet hundreds of women and children in the county are devastated by poverty and insecurity. Obviously, as homebuilders, the McKee team finds the idea of homeless women and children unacceptable. It is our great privilege to be able to support the mission of Home of the Sparrow in any way we can.”
