FORT BELVOIR, Va. - Clark Pinnacle Family Communities held its Third Annual Charity Golf Classic at Fort Belvoir Golf Club today. At the awards ceremony, Clark Pinnacle presented a $125,000 check to the Fort Belvoir Chapter of USO, Fort Belvoir Chaplain Family Life Center and Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund. More than 200 golfers participated in the four-person scramble, including representatives from Clark Pinnacle, the Army Residential Communities Initiative office and the many consulting and subcontracting firms working on the housing revitalization efforts at Fort Belvoir. In the last three years, the tournament has raised a total of more than $280,000 for organizations that support Fort Belvoir families including Army Emergency Relief, Fort Belvoir Youth Sports and Boy and Girl Scouts.

"I want to thank everyone. If it was not for donations and volunteers, we could not do what we do," said Linda Ricks, president of the Fort Belvoir Chapter of USO. "The contributions will be used for supplies that help keep the cost of programs down for our Soldiers and their dependents."

"I'm delighted Clark Pinnacle decided to make the Family Life Center a benefactor," said Chaplain Bart Physioc of Fort Belvoir. "The contribution will be used to help fund Hearts United marriage conferences for families dealing with the impact of combat-related trauma."

Clark Pinnacle is working in unison with Fort Belvoir and the Department of the Army to design, construct, and operate military family housing communities at Fort Belvoir. Clark Pinnacle is a joint venture between Clark Realty Capital, an award-winning real estate development and construction firm in Bethesda, Md., and Pinnacle, an American Management Services Company, of Seattle.

"Our freedom is a gift guaranteed by all who serve in our military. Clark Pinnacle and associates help make it possible for us to deliver on our mission to give back to the children of fallen soldiers," said Becky Campbell, founder and CEO of the Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund.

"Through the generosity of our many sponsors, we are able to give back to organizations that support Army families here and the soldiers who are deployed," said Casey Nolan, development executive for Clark Realty Capital. "We hope these contributions go a long way towards making soldiers and their families feel more at home and supported in times of need."
