SCO Family of Services Raises $181,000 at 43rd Annual Madonna Heights Golf Classic

DIX HILLS, NY – SCO Family of Services, a leading provider of essential human services for more than 125 years, held its 43^rd Annual Madonna Heights Golf Classic at the Woodside Club in Muttontown, Long Island. This year’s event raised over $181,000 to support the vital work of Madonna Heights to teach, strengthen, and empower adolescent girls and women to heal from trauma.

SCO honored Alex Guardia, Sales Manager of NY Markets at the Capital Petroleum Group, with the Corporate Leadership Award. Mr. Guardia has been a long-time supporter of SCO Family of Services and a strong champion of the programs and services provided at its Madonna Heights campus.

We couldn’t do the work we do without them behind us every step of the way.”

Morning Star allows mothers to live with their young children as they receive treatment – the only program of its kind on Long Island.
