Just Like You Films

July 8th was the date for the first annual Matthew Bloskey Memorial Golf Tournament, which was held at Loch Lloyd Country Club. More than 140 golfers filled the course with memories of Matthew and the hope that they can help people on their journey with grief. Proceeds support the next Just Like You Film on grief. Just Like You Films’ mission is to create a kinder, more compassionate world through the power of storytelling.
