ORANGE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 7, 2019 / Retrolock executives joined with business associates from Shawmut Design and Construction and a throng of other Los Angeles-area movers and shakers when they participated in the Seventh Annual Avison Young/Posse Foundation Golf Tournament, held at Calabasas Country Club near Los Angeles on Sept. 16.
A leader in construction and interior finishes, Retrolock (RLC) gives back to the community by contributing to numerous charitable and philanthropic concerns in Southern California, but the Posse Foundation is special, said RLC CEO Tania Tomyn.
One of RLC's partners, Shawmut Design and Construction, has long been involved with the Posse Foundation, Tomyn said. Once Tomyn's friends at Shawmut told her about the Posse Foundation's mission - placing multicultural teams of overlooked, high-achieving public high school students (a 'posse') into colleges on full scholarships - the family-oriented Tomyn became a big supporter, along with her spouse, Aaron Smith.
'Shawmut Design and Construction has long been heavily involved with the Posse Foundation,' Tania Tomyn said. 'After we learned about the Posse Foundation, I got on board right away. It's such a great cause.'
Sponsors of the Sept. 16 event to benefit the Posse Foundation enjoyed a round of golf on the historic Calabasas golf course, where every hole is named after an old Hollywood movie filmed on the nearby former Warner ranch, followed by a social gathering and satisfying dinner.
'This year RLC was one of the hole sponsors at Calabasas,' Tania Tomyn said. 'We have been here before and it's great to connect and reconnect with like-minded people.'
