MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Your donation will help MHA provide services throughout Western Massachusetts to people impacted by mental illness, developmental disabilities, substance use disorder and homelessness.
The Mental Health Association (MHA) is thrilled to announce that Springfield Pharmacy has become its first-ever Exclusive Fairway Sponsor for the 27th annual Wellness Classic charity golf tournament that is set to be held at The Ranch Golf Club in Southwick, Massachusetts, on Monday, October 6th, 2025.
Each year, MHA hosts this premier tournament, which serves as the organization’s largest fundraiser. All proceeds from the event will directly support individuals facing challenges related to homelessness, acquired brain injuries, intellectual & developmental disabilities, as well as mental health and substance use disorders.
Since 2019, Springfield Pharmacy has been one of MHA’s most valuable community partners. Whether sponsoring one of MHA’s charity events or providing organized vaccine clinics for MHA staff and participants, Springfield Pharmacy has consistently answered the call.
“Springfield Pharmacy is honored to serve as the presenting sponsor for this year’s tournament,” said Dr. Alex Wu, manager and co-owner of Springfield Pharmacy. “MHA has been a great partner for us. We’ve been donating to MHA’s tournament for the past several years, and we wanted to give back to an organization that has been helping so many people in the Western Mass area with mental health, substance use disorders, and overall wellness.”
Alex Wu and his business partner, Tobias Billups, opened Springfield Pharmacy in 2019. Since opening its first location in Springfield, Massachusetts, the company has taken pride in offering more personalized pharmacy care, assistance, and education to its customers compared to traditional pharmacies. “We didn’t like the way corporate structures viewed patients as just a number or provided cookie-cutter services. We wanted to provide the individualized care that people deserve. We pride ourselves on that any service you receive at a chain store, we can offer it here–and more,” said Alex. “If an issue arises, we are quick to act. If a patient needs something taken care of right away, we are most likely to get it done that day.”
Alex and Tobias plan to continue their charitable giving as a way to express their gratitude for the strong support they have received from the community. “We want to be a long-standing partner with the community and the organizations that are providing so many important services to people. If we take care of the community, the community will take care of us,” said Alex.
"We are grateful for the continued and expanded support from Springfield Pharmacy. Support like this isn't merely transactional. Springfield Pharmacy truly cares about the mission of MHA and supporting the individuals in our care. We sincerely appreciate all the ways Springfield Pharmacy supports our work throughout the year,” said Jennifer Ducharme, MHA Vice President of Development & Community Relations.
Springfield Pharmacy has its main location in Springfield and an additional location within Mercy Hospital in Springfield. The pharmacy offers free packaging and compliance packaging services and is currently running a discount promotion for its clients.
