The 17th Annual CdLS Charity Golf Tournament was a swinging success. The event was held May 18 at the Georgetown Club in Georgetown, MA. More than 20 volunteers, 102 golfers, and 9 families of children with CdLS attended.
Although the day was overcast, the spirit of generosity shined bright. With the help of the Birdie Sponsor, RBC Capital Markets, CdLS Charity Golf Committee, raffles, and the donation of 9 live auction and 29 silent auction items, the tournament far exceeded the fundraising success of previous years. Silent auction items included themed baskets (wine, movies, martinis, etc.), golf foursomes, an autographed baseball, and a Vermont weekend trip. Live auction items included condo stays, Red Sox vs. Yankees tickets, a Bose sound system, and diamond earrings.
Special thanks to this year’s CdLS Charity Golf Committee: Brian O’Keefe, Ava Frank, Dave Molzan, Shelly Champion, Denise and Frank Teixeira, and Steve Igoe. According to Gail Speers, CdLS Foundation Events Coordinator, “the committee did an excellent job, meeting monthly to organize the event. Their hard work resulted in surpassing all fundraising goals.”
Volunteerism and events such as this tournament make it possible to give help and hope to those with CdLS. Thank you to everyone who had a part in this great golf day! -JS
