Belfort Furniture, Dulles, Va., took the lead again this year as the corporate sponsor for the YMCA Loudoun County Annual Charity Golf Tournament, held on May 7 at the Loudoun Golf and Country Club.

The proceeds from the event support the YMCA Loudoun County Building Bridges Program, which provides quality after-school programs and summer camp opportunities for families in Loudoun County who would not be able to afford such services. This year's event brought in more $45,000.۬ Since Belfort Furniture began sponsoring the event in 2005, the retailer's efforts have helped raise more $250,000 for the YMCA Loudoun County.

"We cannot emphasize enough that these funds have directly benefited families in Belfort۪s backyard, right here in Loudoun County," said Belfort CEO Mike Huber. "At Belfort, we're all about creating beautiful homes, but the true foundation of a beautiful home is the environment created by the parents. ... The YMCA Loudoun County fills a void in our community, offering tremendous opportunities where children and teens find the support of caring adults who engage our youth in positive activities where th"ey can identify their strengths and build on them--reaching their fullest potential. As a result, the community benefits as a whole.۬۬The furniture industry came out strong to support the event. Birdie and Par Sponsors included Aspenhome; Ashley Furniture Industries Inc.; Lane Furniture; Broyhill Furniture Industries; Kincaid Furniture; Lexington Home Brands; Sealy Inc.; Universal Furniture; and Vaughan Bassett Furniture Company.

The event also was supported by Fine Furniture Designs, Gat Creek, Hooker Furniture, Huntington House Furniture, Maxwood Furniture, March Furniture Mfg., A.R.T. Furniture, Bernhardt Furniture, Stanley Furniture, Furniture Dealer, Legacy Classic, Restonic Mattress, and Simmons Upholstery.
