Announcing the 17th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

17th Annual Charity Golf Tournament
Socially Distanced Edition  

To Support The Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) Of Hampshire County and Amherst Area Chamber & Cooley Dickinson Health Care Amherst Regional High School Scholarship Program

The Chamber will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) of Hampshire County Inc.

The Children's Advocacy Center is based upon the fundamental premise that children have the right to be safe and protected from harm. The CAC is dedicated to minimizing secondary trauma to child victims by streamlining the handling of cases of child sexual abuse, serious child physical abuse, and child exploitation. Through the CAC, children and families are linked to medical, mental health, victim advocacy and other services determined on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the Chamber will partner once again with Cooley Dickinson Health Care, to award two $1,000 scholarships to two deserving seniors pursuing business and/or healthcare related studies, in an institution of higher education.
