The Samuel Staten Sr. Charitable Trust, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is celebrating its 25th annual Charity Golf Classic on Tuesday, May 28, at Spring Mill Country Club in Ivyland.
With over $3.16 million raised in the past 24 years, this event underscores the collective positive impact of organized labor in the community. Founder Samuel Staten Sr.’s legacy lives on as his mission of service is continued.
The “Making a Difference” award for this landmark year will be presented to Julio Palomo, assistant business manager and special assistant to Ryan N. Boyer, Metropolitan Area of Philadelphia/Baltimore/Washington Laborers’ District Council LIUNA.
During the event’s banquet, the nonprofit will present significant donations to Shriners Children’s Hospital – Philadelphia, the chosen charity of Palomo. A check presentation will also be made to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region. This includes a $25,000 donation to the RMH Family Room on the Oncology Unit at CHOP and a $10,000 donation to the RMH Care Mobile. Representatives from the charities will be present. Proceeds from this event also benefit various 501(c)(3) charities, including the trust’s own Qa’id Staten Memorial Scholarship Fund.
“Samuel Staten Sr. Charitable Trust’s donation to the Ronald McDonald Family Rooms and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile will benefit hundreds of families and children in Philadelphia,” said Susan Campbell, chief executive officer of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region. “We are incredibly grateful for their generous support, which helps us continue to deliver much-needed services. Our three Family Rooms provide rest spaces for families at local hospitals, offering meals, activities, laundry and other amenities, just steps from their children’s beds. Our Care Mobile provides free dental care for children in underserved areas of North Philadelphia.”
