Second Annual Golf Foundation
Our second
fund raiser, a golf tournament held at Avondale Gold Course
during the month of August 2007 was a resounding success.
Actor Burton Gilliam generously donated his time and efforts
to make this a successful event that netted in excess of
$22,000.00 to the Foundation. Additionally, we saw an
overwhelming response from Kootenai County based businesses
and civic organizations, who played in the tournament and/or
donated items for the auction. We were fortunate to open the
tournament by an appearance US Army Special Forces personnel
who parachuted onto the Avondale Golf course to start the
golf tournament.
A special
thanks to our volunteers and their efforts throughout the
day. Thanks to all of you for a job well done.
Mark your calendars now for the next Golf Tournament
