ClubsHelp and the National Club Association are Supporting Oakland Hills Country Club Staff After Fire
Last week’s fire at Oakland Hills Country Club (OHCC) in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., was horrifying. The iconic clubhouse was destroyed, but fortunately, there were no injuries. During this time, the entire OHCC community, especially its valued employees, need support—and the club industry is already responding generously. ClubsHelp, a verified 501(c)3 charity and Philanthropic Partner of the National Club Association, together with NCA, has created the OHCC Employee Assistance Fund to help the OHCC staff affected by this tragedy. As of today, the fund has raised more than $38,000—ClubsHelp will match the first $15,000 of outside donations and made an initial $5,000 contribution. Join your colleagues, NCA, and ClubsHelp and donate to this critical fund.
