The Arpin Group’s Charitable Fund recently announced that its second annual Arpin Strong Golf Tournament, held at the New England Country Club in Bellingham, Mass., successfully raised $22,898 for charity.

The goal of the Arpin Charitable Fund is to perform fundraising activities to help those in need as a result of natural disasters or when unfortunate circumstances arise.

"This is only our second year hosting the Arpin Strong Golf Tournament and we continue to be deeply humbled by the tremendous show of support from all of our sponsors and participants who helped us raise 25 percent more funds than last year's event," said Michael Killoran, Co-chairman of the Arpin Charitable Fund Inc. golf committee and chief financial officer of Arpin Group. "Thanks to their generosity, we are now able to support more charitable organisations this season."

Of the funds raised, $20,000 will be split equally in denominations of $5,000 and donated to the following charitable organizations: the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, Adoption Rhode Island, ALS Association of Rhode Island and the Coalition Against Pediatric Pain. The remainder of the funds will be used to promote other non-profit organizations and to continue with regular monthly donations to various charities.

The Third Annual Arpin Strong Golf Tournament has been scheduled for May 14, 2016, at the New England Country Club.
