The Golf Classic is a fun way for everyone to help out a very worthy cause, and we look forward to another successful tournament."

In addition to Voices, HPS provides ongoing support to such organizations and initiatives as Salvation Army, Metropolitan Ministries, United Way, the American Red Cross and Operation Love Boxes for Our Troops.
