The Framingham Co-operative Bank Charitable Foundation has awarded $6,500 to support the annual Nancy King Memorial Golf Tournament sponsored by MetroWest Legal Services.

The charity golf tournament is one of two fundraising events held by the nonprofit service organization each year, according to a statement.

MetroWest Legal Services provides legal advocacy to protect and advance the rights of the poor, elderly, disabled and other disenfranchised people in obtaining legal, social and economic justice.

According to Elizabeth Soule, executive director, requests for legal assistance have risen by 25 percent over the past year, while state funding for legal services to the population served by the organization decreased by 43 percent.

Framingham Co-operative Bank and its Charitable Foundation have been "among our most dedicated supporters," said Soule.
