Lagerlof Cares Raises $15,000 for Union Station Homeless Services Through Annual Golf Tournament

Lagerlof Cares, the charitable arm of Lagerlof, LLP in Pasadena, has donated $15,000 to Pasadena non-profit Union Station Homeless Services, according to a Lagerlof Cares statement. 

The funds were raised through their third Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser held at Brookside Golf Club on Nov. 3, which attracted up to 86 golfers and 104 dinner reception attendees. 

“We were thrilled to be able to support Union Station Homeless Services as our tournament beneficiary this year,” Joshua Driskell, Lagerlof, LLP’s Managing Partner, said. “We believe in the work that they do and how they support our community.” 

Union Station Homeless Services, the beneficiary of the fundraiser, has been serving the community for 50 years providing services and housing solutions. 

“With our Housing First approach, we’ve achieved an impressive 97% retention rate, meaning that 97% of the people we house stay housed,” Anne Miskey, Union Station President and CEO, said. “Only with the caring and generosity of organizations like Lagerlof, LLP that we are able to do the lifesaving work we do every day as we strive to end homelessness.” 

The tournament last month included breakfast, driving range privileges, putting green contest, 18-hole golf game, on-course food & drinks, cocktail hour, and a dinner and awards reception. 

Tournament sponsors included Northern Trust, Shuster Financial Services, Stone Tapert, Vimvi Real Estate, California Institute of Advanced Management, Mission Valley Bank, Lenox Advisors, Insperity, Arroyo Insurance Services, Thrivent, Dave Knight Real Estate Team, The CREM Group, and Lenox Advisors.

Lagerlof Cares also thanked partner companies that supported on-course food and beverages during the games, including Stone Brewery Pasadena, Cigars by Chivas, Chik-Fil-A Pasadena, Custom Comfort Mattress, and Bertha Mae’s Brownie Company.
