Reflecting AIR Communities' commitment to outstanding corporate citizenship, the 21st annual AIR Gives Charity Golf Classic successfully raised $460,000 to foster strong communities and support those who serve our country. With the help of many longstanding business partners, the tournament continues to be a cornerstone of AIR’s commitment to others and dedication to positive relationships.

Presented in partnership with RE/MAX International, the tournament primarily benefits three nonprofit organizations:The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) is the front-line resource for military families grieving the loss of a loved one who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. TAPS provides 24/7 comfort and care through a national network of peer-based emotional support, case work assistance, crisis intervention, and grief and trauma resources.

Project Sanctuary is a leading provider of therapeutic retreats and ongoing support for military families by reconnecting and empowering the entire family towards healing.

The AIR Gives Opportunity Scholarship provides financial assistance to college-ready students living in affordable housing nationwide. The scholarship, administered in partnership with the National Leased Housing Association's Education Fund, has now helped more than 630 students pursue their dreams of a college education.

“AIR Communities is honored to continue our longstanding support of three incredible nonprofits in partnership with our generous sponsors,” said AIR Communities Executive Vice President of Capital Markets Matthew O’Grady. “It was a true privilege to be a part of this event, which is more than just a golf tournament – it's a testament to the power of AIR’s mission and community.”

“We are truly grateful for the tremendous support of AIR Communities,” said Project Sanctuary Founder and Chief Executive Officer Heather Ehle. “Thousands of military families will benefit from therapeutic healing through the generosity of AIR and its partners. Together we are connecting veterans back to their families and back into our communities.”

More than 120 golfers participated in this year's tournament with 41 companies providing sponsorships. DBK Construction and Greenberg Traurig were each Diamond Sponsors, each contributing at least $30,000.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
