The Arpin Charitable Fund has announced that its Fourth Annual Arpin Strong Golf Tournament, held at the New England Country Club in Bellingham, Massachusetts in June, has successfully raised $31,000 for charity.

The Arpin Charitable Fund, also known as Arpin Strong, was formed to help those in need during natural disasters, or when unfortunate circumstances arise, by participating in community-based volunteer projects and fundraising events throughout the year.

“Our fourth charity golf tournament has become our most successful fundraiser to date,” said Michael Killoran, Co-chairman of the Arpin Charitable Fund, Inc. golf committee and Chief Financial Officer of Arpin Group. “Thanks to the generosity of our valued sponsors, business partners, agents, Arpin employees, community and friends, we are able to give more to our four beneficiaries.”

Of the funds raised, $28,000 have been split equally in denominations of $7,000 and donated to the following charitable organisations: Honor Flight New England, The Jimmy Fund / Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Mitochondrial Disease Action Committee and Teach for America. The remainder of the funds will be used to promote other non-profit organisations and to continue with regular monthly donations to various charities.

Major event sponsors were Courtney International Forwarding, Citrin Cooperman, International Logistic Services, Carousel Industries, KHZ Movers, AIT Worldwide Logistics, Ross & Company, and Capacity Coverage Company of New Jersey, Inc.

The Fifth Annual Arpin Strong Golf Tournament has been scheduled for May 19, 2018, at the New England Country Club.
