Evershore Financial Group Supports Advisors, Graciously Gives to Lakeside Behavioral Health

Heathrow, FL, June 21, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Evershore Financial Group proudly sponsored Links for Lakeside, a golf tournament and silent auction that benefits Ali’s Hope Fund held at the Heathrow Country Club. This fundraiser is important to Joe Gallagher, a financial advisor affiliated with Evershore Financial Group, and his wife, Helen, whose daughter, Alyson Grace, suffered from schizoaffective disorder and sadly took her own life in April 2007. Evershore’s donation of $4,450 will help raise the quality of life for young adults, like Ali, who are afflicted with brain disorders.

When Joe and Helen told Evershore Financial Group about Links for Lakeside, they jumped at the opportunity to be a sponsor. “Joe has been a friend and colleague for a long time and supporting this cause is of great importance to Evershore and all of Joe’s colleagues. We strongly believe in the mission of Ali’s Hope and look forward to supporting a cause that will help others with disorders similar to Ali’s,” said Dan Zagata, Managing Director of Evershore Financial Group.

On top of the sponsorship, Evershore closed its Orlando office for the day so that all associates could play in the tournament, take pictures, and help raise additional funds. Several associates from Boca Raton and Palm Beach Gardens drove up that day to be part of the tournament as well. Out of the 111 attendees present at the tournament and auction, 20 were staff and advisors of Evershore Financial Group.

During the tournament, Evershore helped to raise additional funds for Ali’s Hope by selling rum and tequila shots on the course. The efforts raised over $200 for the charity. “We had a great time at the tournament,” said Jennifer Rankin, Evershore’s Marketing Director. “The best part was being able to show our support for Joe and Helen.”

“The outpour of support from Evershore Financial Group was unbelievable. It felt so good to see another smiling face from Evershore on every other green and knowing how they all supported Ali’s Hope is touching.” Joe Gallagher said. “This firm is full of big hearts – I’m so glad to work with them each day.”
