Belfort Furniture's YMCA Loudoun County Annual Charity Golf Tournament last month raised more than $45,000 for the YMCA Loudoun County Building Bridges Program.

Building Bridges provides quality after school and summer camp opportunities for families in Loudoun County. The tournament took place May 5 at Loudoun Valley Golf and Country Club in Purcellville, Va.

Mike Huber, CEO of Dulles, Va.-based Belfort Furniture and his wife, Kristi Huber, vice president, quality, hosted a pre-golf event at Mike's vineyard, Stone Tower Vineyards, in Leesburg, Va. More than 100 industry partners attended the casual gathering for a cocktails and barbeque amidst the very picturesque landscape.

Since Belfort Furniture became the tournament sponsor in 2005, the retailer's efforts have helped raise almost $300,000 for the YMCA Loudoun County.

"It sounds like such a simple thing€¦giving a kid a chance to take part in camp, learn worthwhile skills, have fun and make new friends. But it is not a small thing," Mike Huber said. "Organizations like the YMCA and the Building Bridges Program, make a real difference in the lives of real families here in Loudoun County. I'm proud to be part of it, and proud that Belfort Furniture was able to once again sponsor this wonderful event."

Laura Fears, associate executive director of YMCA Loudoun County, expressed her gratitude for Belfort's contributions: "We are so grateful to Belfort Furniture and their industry partners for their continued support of our programs, lending a helping hand to the families in Loudoun County who truly need our support."
