Washington — The 2009 David Allen Company Multiple Sclerosis Golf Outing was able to generate $70,000 as donations to the National Capital Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The funds will help assist the many thousands of people with MS and their families living throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. These individuals rely on the National Capital Chapter for support in a variety of areas, including programs, counseling, advocacy, equipment loans, and education. The contribution from this year's tournament may help underwrite a local education program on symptom management, provide a few hours of respite for a family caregiver, or pay one month’s rent for a family in crisis due to the expenses that MS can bring.David Allen Company had a tremendous amount of support this year including very strong support from our top sponsors including Laticrete International, Dal-Tile Corp, T&M Supply Company and David Allen Company Corporate Office along with the National Capitol Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and many others.
