2019 Golf Tournament Raises $26,000 for Charity

This past Saturday 27 teams from across Atlanta’s production community faced off over 18 holes on a breezy May 4th afternoon at the Flat Creek Country Club in Peachtree City for our 9^th Annual IATSE Charity Golf Tournament, hosted by IATSE Locals 479 and 600, and organized by Local 479’s Women’s Committee.

“We are proud to announce that this year’s golf tournament raised more than $26,000 for BeLoved Atlanta (belovedatlanta.org), a charity benefiting women who have survived trafficking, prostitution and addiction – thanks to all who sponsored and participated in this great event!”

Myra Foy, Chairwoman IATSE Local 479 Women’s Committee

“BeLoved Atlanta believes in the importance of individualized care. Through the donations from the golf tournament, each resident will participate in drug and alcohol rehab, counseling, education and employment. It is amazing to watch this community rally around survivors of commercial sexual exploitation and invest in their future. We are blown away by your generosity! Thank you.”

Amelia Quinn, President / Founder BeLoved Atlanta
