ALEXANDRIA, Virginia – Donald P. Emery, CCM, CCE, has initiated the Emery Family Fund at The Club Foundation. The fund is named the Emery Family Fund in honor of his mother Jean and his deceased father Howard, who taught him the value of lifting others through service, deeds, and philanthropic giving.
Emery has been a member of the Club Management Association of America (CMAA) for 41 years, starting in hospitality as a student member at Cornell University. He currently serves as General Manager/COO at Grey Oaks Country Club in Naples, FL.
Out of his caring and philanthropic spirit and love for the club industry, Don initiated this fund with a desire not only to make a difference in the club industry but to encourage others to contribute to support all those who benefit from the Foundation’s work. The Fund is open to contributions from anyone, and those contributions can be made on The Club Foundation donation page. Learn more about Don Emery on The Club Foundation website.
The proceeds from this endowed fund generously support the Foundation where most needed.
“We are deeply grateful to Don for his generosity and for spotlighting the value of operational funding for nonprofits like the Foundation. His contribution and commitment are an inspiration to all,” said Jeff Morgan, FASAE, CAE, President and CEO, Club Management Association of America.
