BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. (PSPinc) in Bellevue, Washington, will celebrate its 30th year in business in 2017. To commemorate the anniversary, PSPinc plans to cover all expenses for a golf tournament fundraising event hosted by its non-profit organization PSP Children's Foundation (PSPCF) in partnership with UW Foster School of Business. The event will take place on Monday, August 21, 2017 at the exclusive members-only Aldarra Golf Club, giving the public a rare opportunity to play on a course designed by world-renowned course designer Tom Fazio.

The money PSPCF raises from attendance fees and hole sponsorships will benefit students at the University of Washington Foster School of Business who have a high degree of financial need. With the help of donors and sponsors, PSPCF will grant scholarships to several dedicated students in an effort to help them succeed and become the next great business leaders of the future.

The idea for this scholarship fundraising event was born out of a desire to help young people who have overcome difficult circumstances. In 2011, when the massive earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, the employees of PSPinc were deeply affected. They raised over $75k in matching funds in the immediate aftermath, with the intent to help children directly impacted by the disaster. PSPinc created the "Experience Summer in Seattle" program which brought groups of Japanese students affected by the disaster to Seattle to experience the Pacific Northwest for two weeks. In the course of creating and running the Experience Summer In Seattle program, PSP Children's Foundation (PSPCF) was formed, achieving 501(c)(3) status on September 13, 2012.

PSPCF's mission is to continue offering aid to young people through unique programs and scholarships, and bring hope for the future.
