Annual West Coast Golf Outing Fundraiser
Last Event: July 28, 2008
Next Event: TBD
Taking the success of our annual NJ golf event bi-coastal, Family Reach launched its first California golf outing fundraiser at the Green Hills Country Club in Millbrae, CA - and exceeded expectations from the start! 62 people including 57 golfers and 9 corporate sponsors came together for a day of inspiration and incredible generosity - raising more than $20,000 for the Family Reach cause.
The day kicked off with a lively lunch and tee-off, and concluded with a reception and dinner event where Family Reach Foundation co-founder Chris Wiatrak gave everyone a warm welcome. Chris also shared a moving story about one of the families touched by the help of the foundation.
Those who attended the day were also eligible to win a number of great prizes. The winning foursome received a $75 Golfsmith gift certificate, as did the winners of the proximity contest. The mens' long drive hit a cart path that crossed the middle of the fairway and went about 350 yards. The winning low score was 64, seven under. The second place score winner, at 65, received $40 gift certificates and a dozen balls, and the third place winner, at 68, won $20 gift certificates.
Our generous sponsors for the event included Platinum Dinner Sponsors Genentech, Harrison & Star, BioLumina, and Scienomics Group; Gold Lunch Sponsor Eveo; and Bronze Sponsors ePocrates, Grey Healthcare, and Cadent. The experience for them was so remarkable that Harrison & Star has already graciously committed to a generous donation for next year's event!
Special thanks to Eric and Sarah Hoefer, John Northcott, Mark Broxterman, and Chris Chang for all of their help. |
