Through sponsorships, raffles and golf packages, the tournament has raised nearly $225,000 in total for the Windermere Foundation over the past six years.
“Windermere Stellar is a team whose reputation is built on providing our best to each client. The golf tournament is an opportunity for us to give the same to our community and have fun doing it,” said Aweidah. “We couldn’t be more thankful for everyone’s support, which allows us to help those who need it most.”
The golf tournament is one of the many fundraising campaigns that Windermere Stellar launches throughout the year in support of the Windermere Foundation.
