Yesterday Goodwill of DE had our first annual Golf Outing! And it was a major success! We couldn’t have asked for better weather and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I know I did.
I learned several things that day.
#1 Golf carts are the best invention in the world and can reduce me to laughing tears while barreling down a huge hill.
#2 When you hear FOUR on a golf course, duck
#3 There are some great people out there who are willing to support awesome events like this, so thank you to everyone who made this outing possible.
By participating in the Golf Outing, you help us kick off our fund raising campaign to create an educational scholarship fund, known as our Family Strengthening Through Education Program. Once fully funded, the scholarship fund will assist an estimated 40 to 60 people each year with the opportunity to earn their high school diploma or a two-year associate’s degree in any area of study in which they have an interest. The scholarship program will be open to all whose lives are touched by Goodwill. We will also work with established community partners and with current programs to remove barriers and provide critical support such as career counseling, prepayment of fees and tuition, computers and books, offering of flexible scheduling options and transportation assistance.
So thanks again to all of you who had a hand in the 2010 Golf Outing. And we will see you again next year!
Here are some pictures from the event!
