Side Games and Local Ties

"> Since I'm not a golfer, I've enjoyed working the tournament each year. Last year Connie Dreyer was recovering from shoulder surgery, so she was on the sidelines with me. We had a little game on the 10th hole and we had a great time with the golfers as they waited their turn to hit. Relaxing in the sun between golfers wasn’t bad either!

Some golfers played the game, some just took the opportunity to relax in their cart. The money we raised with the game also went directly to The Sunshine Kids and although it's not a huge amount, it's still making a difference.

This year, the money we raise will be used to treat kids from our surrounding area who are being treated at Roger Maris Cancer Center to a day excursion, an out of town trip or some other type of event. Eventually, I hope to meet some of these kids, as well as the nurses who accompany them on these special days. My hope is that these kids and their families let us become a small part of their lives as our participation with Sunshine Kids grows.
