Richmond, VA -- (SBWire) -- 04/01/2011 -- This summer, Window World of Richmond will be presenting the First Annual Window World St. Jude’s Golf Tournament.

This inaugural event is part of Window World’s charitable foundation, Window World Cares, which has raised over $1.5 million for St. Jude Children’s research Hospital since their partnership began in 2008.
The event, being held at The Crossings Golf Club in Glen Allen on Friday, June 24th, will be a great deal of fun for everyone involved and St. Jude’s will greatly benefit from the fundraiser. You can register to play on your own, or you can make it a fun afternoon on the greens with a team of your friends, colleagues, and/or golfing buddies.

When asked about hosting the St. Jude’s Golf Tournament, Window World of Richmond owner Matt Conley remarked, “We’ve all embraced St. Jude’s and really feel as though we are part of the St. Jude family now. Our ongoing efforts include contributions from our base of 20,000 customers here in the Richmond area and hundreds of thousands nationwide, along with corporate events we do throughout the year. That says a lot about our customers and our fellow Window World owners and employees, and really brings the family aspect full circle. This event is a great way to gather like-minded people together here in Richmond that truly care about children.”
