This past Monday, on June 18, TPG Architecture participated in the 20th iteration of the Golf for Hunger & Pool Party event by St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters. TPG’s very own Founding Principal, Jim Phillips, AIA had the honor of hosting the outing, which he has proudly been doing since 2007.

Held at the Bonnie Briar Country Club in Larchmont, NY, the charity event is put on for the truly admirable cause of raising funds for anyone in need of essential necessities such as shelter, food, and clothing. This year’s fundraiser was able to reach nearly $500,000 in donations — an incredible contribution that will allow St. Francis to serve over 40,000 hot meals to those in need. Additionally this year, the Golf for Hunger & Pool Party honored Matthew Bautista, Vice President of Paramount Group, with the “Francis Award” for his outstanding charitable work in making this event a success.
