Local groups benefit from golf outing

Several charitable organizations hit a hole in one thanks to Matrix Golf and Hospitality's outing Oct. 1.

The company's Commonwealth National Golf Club hosted the outing which raised more than $78,000 for six charities. About 120 golfers participated in the outing which assisted:

Special Equestrians, a therapeutic riding and hippotherapy program offering services to individuals with disabilities in the Greater Philadelphia area.

HealthLink Medical Center, a free clinic serving the working uninsured of Bucks and Montgomery counties, including offering primary care and dental services to qualifying patients.

Gilda's Club Delaware Valley, one of 26 clubs nationwide founded by the late comedian Gilda Radner to offer programs and emotional and social support to people living with cancer.

Crossing the Finish Line, a Blue Bell-based cancer support that helps provide young families facing late-stage cancer treatments and terminal diagnosis with opportunities to spend carefree and cost-free time together in comfortable and secure travel environments.

Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Montgomery County, part of the national organization to match at-risk youth with mentors to produce a direct and measurable impact on the children's lives.

The Center for Parenting Education, a not-for-profit agency founded in 1997 to help educate and support parents to raise children in an emotionally healthy way.

The Commonwealth National Foundation's mission is to raise money for the support of local charities.

Commonwealth National Golf Club is a private golf club located in Horsham. The club, designed by Arnold Palmer, is owned and operated by Matrix Golf and Hospitality, a division of Matrix Development Group, headquartered in Cranbury, N.J.
