The seventh annual charity golf tournament organized by Dennis’ 7 Dees Landscaping and Garden Centers was held on Sept. 15 in Aurora, Oregon, with net proceeds coming to more than $88,000. The money will benefit Human Solutions, a nonprofit organization that provides a full array of programs and services to benefit the homeless population in East Portland and East Multnomah County.

The tournament began in 2010, and since that time, it has raised a cumulative total of more than $500,000.

“On behalf of all of us at Dennis’ 7 Dees, we are pleased to continue to help Human Solutions carry out their vital mission in the community of serving hundreds of homeless children and their families,” said Dave Snodgrass, President of Dennis’ 7 Dees. “We are very grateful for our suppliers, clients, friends and employees who help make this event possible.”

Andy Miller, executive director of Human Solutions, said he appreciates the partnership with Dennis’ 7 Dees.

“As a direct result of the generous efforts of Dennis’ 7 Dees, hundreds of Oregon’s kids and their families who may experience homelessness this year will be able to sleep safely and warmly inside while they take a first step to transition out of homelessness into stable housing,” Miller said. “The proceeds from this event allow us to provide emergency shelter for families with children who fall into homelessness in this very challenging housing economy. It also enables us to support families experiencing homelessness back into stable housing with the resources and support they need to prevent the trauma of homelessness in their future.”
