What a glorious day! The only thing that would have made it better is if someone could have gotten that $25,000 hole-in-one! A few of our women golfers came really close. There is always next year.
Many thanks to all our golfers who gave up a beautiful Sunday to join us for a good cause. All the animals at Hootie's appreciate your generosity.
Thank you to Sugar Creek for helping us pull off a monster of a golf tournament. You are always there to help and go that extra step. We really couldn't do it without your help.
This is really Russ' tournament, Hootie's just benefits. He works hard from April to tee time to secure food, beverages, amazing golfers and silent auction items. We thank you for your passion for all the kids at the rescue.
Johnny again provided the yummy brats, hot dogs, burgers and buns and Nancy at AB provided the adult beverages. No one went away hungry or thirsty.
We always have an amazing set-up and break-down crew and this year was no exception. This group of folks has also been working with Russ since April to pull this event together. These folks get everything over to the course the night before and then get there the next day at 5:30am to make coffee, drinks, etc. They then spend the day making sure everything runs smoothly. Your team members this year were Renee, Brenda & Jennifer, Stephanie & Chris, Stephanie, Balinda, Tim and Jane.
These same folks will be setting up our Trivia Night/Silent Auction on October 18th at Ephiphany Church in South City. We still have a few tables left, so let us know if you would like to join us for yet another fun event.
I am still waiting for some totals, so will not have exact numbers till tomorrow, but you did a fabulous job and raised over $20,000 for Hooties. This includes a generous match from Toyota/Lexus.
There was also a cute little boy dog that was found running the neighborhood by the golf course. I think someone took him home and wants to keep him. Hootie's is willing to neuter and vaccinate that kiddo for free if you would like us to do so. Just let us know.
If I have forgotten anyone, please forgive me. It has been a long day and my brain is mush.
I'll leave you with some pics from the day.
