LEM Capital 4th Annual Charity Golf Benefit Raises $85,000 for Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA – LEM Capital, L.P. (“LEM”), in collaboration with JLL’s Capital Markets group (“JLL”), hosted its fourth annual Charity Golf Benefit on Monday, July 21, 2025. The event, which again benefited Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia (“HFHP”), raised $85,000. HFHP is an independently chartered affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, the largest nonprofit homebuilder worldwide. Locally, HFHP’s mission is to transform lives and its neighborhoods by building and repairing homes in partnership with families in need and uniting all Philadelphians around the cause of affordable housing. The HFHP vision is a city where all Philadelphians live in safe, affordable homes.
“Every single dollar raised through this golf outing propels Habitat’s mission forward – empowering us to say ‘yes’ to the next family in need of a decent, affordable home,” said Corinne O’Connell, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia. “We’re so thankful to build community alongside the incredible folks at LEM and JLL.”
A highlight of the event was hearing from two incredible Habitat staff members: Rita Calicat, Director of Homeowner Services, and Cree Kull, Project Manager of Home Repairs. Rita shared insights into her hands-on role, supporting homeowners throughout their entire journey—from loan approval and homeownership education to ongoing check-ins. Cree spoke about the meaningful impact of repairing homes for existing homeowners and shared a poignant story about fixing a large hole in the kitchen ceiling of an elderly homeowner who had been cooking on a hot plate in their living room.
“Our 4th Annual Golf Charity Event in support of Habitat for Humanity was a tremendous success — bringing together 100 golfers for a day of community, purpose, and impact. Over the past four years, we’ve raised more than $275,000 to help Habitat continue their vital work supporting vulnerable homeowners across Philadelphia. This year, we were especially inspired by the stories shared by Habitat’s team, which reminded us just how powerful safe, affordable housing can be in transforming lives and neighborhoods,” said Jennifer Clausen, Partner at LEM.
“JLL is proud to have participated in the annual Habitat for Humanity charity golf outing with LEM. Providing affordable housing and the dignity that comes with it is a wonderful mission and we are happy to contribute to this effort year after year,” said Ryan Ade, Senior Managing Director at JLL.
