8.22.12 | Tacoma, WA | The clubs were swinging for a good cause earlier this month, as Chuckals Office Products, Tacoma’s leading independent office products dealer, hosted its fifth annual Charity Golf Tournament. The event raised over $15,000, shared equally by the City of Hope cancer research and treatment center and the Friends of American Lake Veterans Golf Course, an organization dedicated to providing disabled veterans with rehabilitation opportunities, both physically and emotionally, by supporting operations at the American Lake Veterans Hospital golf course in Lakewood, WA.

Some 40 golfers took part in the event, which was held at Chamber's Bay, home of the 2015 U.S. Open. In addition, Chuckals hosted a special fundraising event the evening before at the LeMay automobile museum in Tacoma.

Over 20 different office products companies supported the tournament, including Hewlett-Packard (gold sponsor), Avery Dennison and S.P. Richards Co. (silver sponsors).

"As a locally owned and operated business, Chuckals is proud to support organizations like the Friends of American Lake Veterans Golf Course, who do such outstanding work in support of the servicemen and women who have given so much on our behalf,” commented Chuckals President Al Lynden.

“We very much appreciate the support of our customers, business partners and friends who helped make this year’s tournament so successful. Planning is already underway for an even bigger event next year!”
