13th Annual Airway Meadows Benefit Golf Tournament

2017 Recipient: Adirondack Samaritan Counseling Center For The Helping Hand Fund

A huge thank you to Airway Meadows for this year’s fundraiser that benefited Adirondack Samaritan. It was a wonderful surprise to be chosen by Airway Meadows to be the recipient of their annual golf fundraiser. Our Helping Hands fund grew by $3000 thanks to the generosity of their participants. It was a wonderful day to be part of the golfing community.

The Adirondack Samaritan Counseling Center is a not for profit counseling center that has served the tri-county area since 1983. An important part of our mission is to provide our services to people of varied means. While most therapy is fee for service and covered by health insurance, many area families are either uninsured or underinsured. We strive to offer such clients access to our services through our Helping Hand Fund, whereby we set an adjusted fee for services. The Helping Hand Fund is supported by the Tri County United Way, community and individual support to offset the cost of providing services to clients in their time of need.
