Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) June 22, 2006 -—
The Washington, DC office of Bovis Lend Lease hosted its tenth annual golf invitational at Lansdowne Resort in Lansdowne, Virginia on Monday, June 12, 2006. Each year Bovis Lend Lease sponsors a golf tournament to show appreciation for the local subcontractor community, while raising money for The Children’s Inn at NIH. With the help of tournament participants, which include over 100 of the area’s major subcontractors, suppliers, developers, and real estate professionals, a total of $ 32,580 was raised for The Children’s Inn at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Since the tournament’s inception, over $ 120,000 has been generously donated to The Children’s Inn.
The Children’s Inn is a privately funded residence offering a family-centered environment for children who are being treated for critical illnesses and rare conditions at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s premier biomedical research center. The Children’s Inn is a non-profit charitable entity, which relies on contributions to fund its operations. The purpose of The Inn is to keep children together with their families throughout the treatment of their serious illness, reduce their stress, and promote their healing with the support of other families, and Inn staff and volunteers. Since 1990, more than 6,000 children from all 50 states and 57 countries have stayed free of charge at The Inn, some for a few days and some for months at a time.
“The Children’s Inn is able to fulfill its mission of providing a ‘place like home’ for seriously ill children and for their families only because of generous individuals and organizations such as Bovis Lend Lease,” said Kathy Russell, CEO of The Children’s Inn. “We are so pleased to have the company’s continued support and to see it exceed its fundraising goal this year. The $ 32,000 contribution will provide over 400 nights for families at The Inn.”
