2015 Charity Golf Tournament Recap

Over the past two days, CBG Building Company (CBG), CRC Companies (CRC), and Clark Construction teamed up to host the eleventh annual CRC CARES Foundation charity golf tournament.

Hosted at the Maderas Golf Club in San Diego, 228 golfers hit the links for a good cause. This year, over $303,000 was raised to benefit three organizations, with nearly 90 charities benefiting from tournament funds since the inaugural event in 2005.

Jim Forburger, senior vice president of CBG, has been part of the event since its inception and reflected after the event, “I am amazed at how this event has grown, which has allowed us to provide well-deserving charities the financial support to continue their mission…It is truly my favorite time of year.”

The winning team was presented with trophies.

The losing team received skunks to commemorate their loss. 

This year’s tournament beneficiaries are all deserving and selfless local organizations:

• Bridge of Hope is a non-profit dedicated to providing furniture, clothing, and food to underprivileged families facing crisis, such as domestic violence and homelessness.
• Dreams for Change also battles homelessness in the San Diego community by providing families and individuals living in their cars a safe environment where they can rest, access resources, and work towards stabilization.
• Homefront San Diego is an all-volunteer organization that provides a hand-up to military families in their time of need. Founded after September 11, 2001, the organization helps service member’s families at home so soldiers can focus on their missions without worrying about the wellbeing of their loved ones.

Proceeds from this year’s tournament were made possible by 88 corporate sponsors, many of which are repeat donors. To celebrate this year’s tournament and the fun on the course, CRC CARES hosted a dinner and awards reception in the Del Lago Ballroom at the Club both nights of the event.

Highlights of the evening festivities included a raffle, announcement of tournament winners, and a formal donation presentation to Bridge of Hope, Homefront San Diego, and Dreams for Change.

CRC CARES Participates in the 2015 Safe at Home Kickball Tournament

CRC CARES Foundation members kicked for a cause on Saturday at the 10th Annual Bridges to Independence (b2i) Safe at Home Kickball Tournament.

In addition to supporting their mission through this charity kickball tournament, CRC CARES has a longstanding close relationship with b2i as they are our non-profit partner on our 10th Street Flats development project. CRC Companies will be providing a brand-new office space to b2i when the project is completed in 2017. 

Our team proudly played six hours of kickball before falling in the semifinals. Congrats to everyone who also participated in the fun day!

Bridges to Independence is Northern Virginia's leading provider of services for homeless women/families and those at risk. They offer a consortium of aid and support for all family members, helping them attain stability and move forward in self-sufficiency. A private, nonprofit organization, b2i has been working with and for homeless families since they were founded in 1985 as the Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless. They became Bridges to Independence in 2015 as the new name better reflects how their mission and service spectrum has evolved and expanded over the years.

CRC CARES Participates in the 2015 JDRF Real Estate Games

Yesterday 12 of our people participated in various events in the JDRF Real Estate Games, an annual fundraiser sponsored by the Washington, DC area real estate community to benefit the JDRF Greater Chesapeake and Potomac Chapter.

Our team competed in traditional events like swimming and track and field, but also dominated in more unique events like metal chair racing and a toy pony relay. Held at American University, despite the gray skies, over 1,000 other members of the DC real estate community were also in attendance.

Founded in 1989 by Adam Singer, the JDRF Real Estate Games have raised over $5 million for Type 1 Diabetes Research. JDRF is the leading global organization funding TD1 research. JDRF's goal is to progressively remove the impact of Type 1 Diabetes from people's lives until we achieve a world without it. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with scientific resources, regulatory influence, and a working plan to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure Type 1 Diabetes.
