Pars Fore Paws
Jerry Milan Memorial Golf Tournament
Monday, October 7, 2024
Eagle Landing Golf Club

⭐ Remembering Jerry Milan & Continuing The Tradition

Last September, our dear board member, and cherished friend, Jerry Milan, went to glory. Jerry's influence on our organization and his dedication to the Pars Fore Paws Golf Tournament was immeasurable, and his loss was, and still is, difficult. Jerry's vision as the founder and chair of the tournament transformed it into a remarkable event that seamlessly blended his passion for golf and his love for his friends, all while supporting a noble cause—the well-being of animals. In memory of Jerry, the tournament will remain faithful to the cause with a few additions and a new name, “The Jerry Milan Pars Fore Paws Memorial Golf Tournament.” The Milan family will continue the tradition with his wife, Gloria, serving on the tournament committee and his son, Jerry Jr., stepping into the role of event chair. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering support and commitment.

📣We are excited to see you on Monday, October 7th. We will honor Jerry's memory and make this year's event successful.

Let's honor Jerry's memory; registration is OPEN!

Protect those precious paw pads! 🚨

Before you and your furry friend head out for a walk, do the 5-Second Test:

The initial grey skies and drizzle deterred some of our would-be participants, but the ones who powered through were ready for fun. Within an hour, we were blessed with beautiful sunny skies and a safe, smooth ride along the North Florida roadways. The morning started at Adamec Harley-Davidson on Wells Road with registration and continued to Cheers for a tasty brunch. Then it was on to Crossroads Saloon, Cheyenne Saloon, Howlin’ Wolf, and lastly to Whitey’s for a delicious fish dinner and music by DJ BG, along with a lot of awesome raffle prizes. Special guests included the Star Wars 501st Legion, who used their Jedi mind tricks to entertain the crowd, and photographer Donna Conversano, who donated her time and talents to capture some amusing moments of the day.

Thank you to Adamec Harley-Davidson Orange Park and Whitey's Fish Camp for being gracious hosts and to the rest of our wonderful sponsors, along with the hard-working event committee and volunteers.

Of course, we want to extend our appreciation to the dedicated riders who come out to support the organization and make the event a community favorite.

We're thrilled to share an inspiring story of compassion and generosity that truly warms our hearts. Meet 8-year-old Iliana, a shining example of kindness in action!

Moved by an ASPCA commercial, Iliana was determined to make a difference in the lives of animals in need. With creativity and determination, she handcrafted over 50 pairs of beautiful earrings, pouring her heart into each creation. Through her hard work and dedication, she raised an incredible $286 to support our furry friends here at Clay Humane.

But Iliana's kindness doesn't stop there. When she visited us to donate her earnings, she met Lincoln, a precious dog who had been rescued from Clay County Animal Services with a pelvic fracture. Iliana's compassionate spirit immediately connected with Lincoln, and she selflessly decided to dedicate her donation to his care and recovery.

Iliana's generosity reminds us all that no act of kindness is ever too small to make a big difference. Her heartfelt gesture not only supports Lincoln on his journey to healing but also inspires us all to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Join us in celebrating Iliana's kindness and spreading the message of compassion for animals everywhere. Together, we can make the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. Thank you, Iliana, for being a shining light in our community!
