DAWSONVILLE, Ga. — Donations by 120 golfers and more than 100 companies and friends provided $20,000 for the Atlanta Union Mission at the Fifth Annual TradeWinds Partners Invitational Charity Golf Tournament.
Donated funds went to help homeless and abused women and children at The Angel Wing, My Sister's Home and Village Atlanta, all divisions of the Atlanta Union Mission.
TradeWinds is an Atlanta-area sales group representing such manufacturers as Hooker, Paoli, Tellus and Sam Moore, all of which were sponsors of the tournament. The event was played in August at the Gold Creek Resort here.
