RICHMOND, Va.--A golf tournament sponsored by Lakewood Manor, a Richmond, Va., retirement community, raised more than $25,000 last month for its benevolent endowment fund. Lakewood is one of four retirement centers of the Virginia Baptist Homes. Whit Crowell, a Lakewood resident, and his team took first place with a score of 49. He was among 92 golfers participating in the tournament. Last year, Virginia Baptist Homes residents received over $900,000 in benevolent assistance in its four communities. “Requests for need-based support continues to grow as residents live longer with more limited means,” said Holly Raidabaugh, Lakewood’s director of marketing and development. “This is why the proceeds from our tournament are critical in supporting this mission.” Upcoming golf tournaments include one in Daleville, Va., on June 21 and another in Culpeper, Va., on Sept. 17.
