We had another great turnout for our Annual Golf Classic and Auction! Golfers rolled in for the AM shotgun around 7:30 and enjoyed coffee, donuts, and conversation before Shaun Nicholson gave his sendoff for the teams. The morning was mild with some cloud cover and a nice breeze but after lunch, the skies parted for the PM shotgun and the sun was out in full force. With the help of some ice cold towels and water, the afternoon group beat the heat and made it back to the clubhouse for dinner. During the social hour there was great food, a presentation, and prizes that all concluded with Paul Newman’s famous rendition of God Bless America supported by staff and guests. Another wonderful outing for the books!
This year, we had over 100 participants and with the inclusion of this year’s funds, this event has been able to raise over 1.2 million dollars! The proceeds from the golf outing will ensure that Greene Giving is in a position to continue to provide high level and cost effective services to affiliates and components that are making a difference all around the community in terms of libraries, parks, and schools.
We want to give a special “thank you” to our Title sponsors Susan and Shaun Nicholson & Marcia Meyer O’Rourke, as well as Birdie sponsor Joe Harkleroad, and Par sponsors Valorie Long & Peoples Bank. Your support is greatly appreciated and will continue to help Greene Giving operate in the community.
If you missed out this year or are already looking forward to next year, go ahead and mark your calendars! We will be hosting our 20th annual event the last Thursday of July 2024. See you there for another day of fun and giving!
