Phil Halcomb, Vice President of David Allen Company
in Manassas, VA 每 which focuses on concept design and installation for

the golf tournament as a way to connect with others and make an impact
in the community. The tournament raised $800 in its first year. Last
year, the tournament raised a record $61,000 for the National MS Society.
※The
donation will make a tremendous difference to many within the local
Chapter,§ said Halcomb. ※Every little bit helps, and we look forward to
exceeding our goal this year.§
In addition to participants, the
tournament is currently seeking corporate sponsorship to underwrite the
costs of the tournament so that more funds go directly to families in
need. Companies are invited to join the movement against MS by teaming with other industry leaders signed on to date including LATICRETE International, Inc., Terrazzo and Marble Supply Companies, David Allen Company, Mer-Krete Systems, R.W. Murray Co., Hess Construction + Engineering Services, and Daltile. Sponsorship levels range from $325 to $10,000 and above.
Halcomb, his wife Kathy, and members of the David Allen Company staff recruit participants as well as sponsors who
underwrite the tournament*s costs and raffle prizes. Raffle prizes
include items ranging from limited edition watches from the Masters at
Augusta, to 2007 Presidents Cup American & International golf bags,
to sports memorabilia, and getaway packages.
※We are proud to have a partner like David Allen Company in our work to end multiple sclerosis,§ said J. Christopher
Broullire, president of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society,
National Capital Chapter. ※The annual David Allen Company MS Golf
Tournament gets bigger and better every year, and the staff there works
very hard to make a difference in the lives of many thousands of people living with MS.§
Funds
raised through the tournament will benefit local programs and services
for people living with MS and their families. MS stops people from
moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn*t.
Locally, the National Capital Chapter provides a wide range of vital
services in the areas of counseling, education, employment, information
and referral, public policy development and advocacy, and financial
assistance.
