Balise Lexus and Lexus Champions for Charity Raise $104,435 for Baystate Health Foundation |
Balise Lexus participated in the Lexus Champions for Charity event held on May 3 at Crestview Country Club in Agawam. This year Balise Lexus partnered with The Baystate Health Foundation golf tournament. Lexus provided the opportunity for two local golfers to play in the National Lexus Champions for Charity event at Pebble Beach, California. The Pebble Beach golf event was auctioned off at the Baystate Tournament and raised over $6,000! The entire tournament netted over $100,000 to help local needy families. The Lexus Champions for Charity is a series of golf tournaments hosted by Lexus dealerships in their communities to help support local charities. Lexus has been committed to this program since it was established in 1989. These tournaments give local golfers the opportunity to compete and raise money for their charity. They also have the opportunity to bid at the charity's auction for a place in the National Championship event at the historic Pebble Beach Golf Links®. On a nationwide basis, Lexus Champions for Charity has generated more than $135 million for charities through more than 3,000 events. Last year, 30,000 golfers participated in 183 Lexus Champions for Charity tournaments across the country. The growing support and continuous success of this program is a true testament to Lexus dealers and their communities' commitment to enriching others' lives. Lexus is honored to be a part of these events and the communities that support them. Together, we will make a difference. |
