This year, funds and awareness were also raised for 6-year-old Sophia Trujillo , who is in search of a bone marrow match in her fight against Aplastic Anemia.
"From our very first PSI charity golf tournament 18 years ago to today, our mission has been to give back to the community and bring our Government customers, partners and colleagues together to raise money for a very worthy cause," said Mr. Lin. "These golfers came together, had a lot of fun, and didn’t forget for a moment that they were there to make a difference in the lives of those battling cancer.”
“What a fantastic company!” said Tricia Sturm, Director of Special Events for the LLS. “Over 150 employees joined forces for the day to change the course of blood cancer treatment. Thanks to the continued support and dedication of Terry Lin and the employees of PSI, the LLS is advancing our mission every day. Terry Lin and the employees of PSI are true partners in hope, funding LLS research and finding cures for blood cancers.”
