The Ninth annual McCarthy & Cox Charity Golf Outing was a success, raising a record $24,930 for two charities. “Tom McCarthy and I started the McCarthy & Cox Cares Fund in 2013 to assist seniors, youth, and to fill emergency needs in Union County,” Jim Cox, Managing Partner of McCarthy & Cox, said. To date, the fund has donated more than $50,000 back into the community. For more information or to apply, those interested may visit McCarthyandCoxCares.com. The Elizavèta Fund, which Jim and Faye Cox founded in 2014 to assist families with the financial burden of adoption costs, also benefits from the outing. The couple adopted their daughter, Caroline Elizavèta, from Russia in 2011. Throughout their adoption process, they came to realize the financial and time commitment that is required and decided to help others who wanted to grow their families in the same way. Over the years, the Elizavèta Fund has granted nearly $70,000 to assist 16 families, aiding in the adoption of 21 children. For more information, visit ElizavetaFund.org. Both funds are housed at the Union County Foundation and donations are tax deductible.
