CVS Health Charity Classic surpasses $20 million

CVS Health President and CEO Larry Merlo recently announced that the CVS Health Charity Classic has surpassed the $20 million milestone in total contributions.
The money will go toward helping nonprofits in Southeastern New England. 
"The CVS Health Charity Classic has an 18-year history of supporting the meaningful work being done by nonprofits in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island," Merlo said. "We are proud to reach this major milestone in donations made that enables us to give back to those who need it most in the areas of health care, education and social services."
Merlo unveiled the milestone at a celebration on Dec. 20 at the local headquarters in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. In attendance were tournament chairperson Eileen Howard Boone; PGA Tour professionals and co-chairs of the CVS Health Charity Classic Billy Andrade and Brad Faxon; and former Major League Baseball pitcher Tim Wakefield.
"Support from the CVS Health Charity Classic has been instrumental in allowing us to fulfill our mission of serving the health, education, recreation and social service needs of children and families across New England," Wakefield said. "We are grateful for our partnership and look forward to continuing to work together in the future."
