david w. herlinger golf tournament | |
On August 13th, CHFA will host its annual golf tournament, which is named to posthumously honor CHFA’s former Executive Director and is an ongoing tribute to his years of dedication and passion for our mission. The 2024 event will be held at Arrowhead Golf Club in Littleton.
Every year, CHFA’s golf tournament raises funds to support nonprofits whose work aligns with CHFA's mission of investing in affordable housing and community development. This year’s tournament will support NEWSED, a nonprofit working to promote community development to underserved populations in Colorado by providing navigation for housing services, nurturing small businesses, and promoting asset creation.
More information about this year’s tournament is available on the CHFA website. Those wishing to join CHFA in supporting the work of NEWSED are encouraged to make a donation.
