Golf Marathon Exceeds Fundraising Goal
May 18, 2007
AAI is thrilled to announce that its first golf marathon was a tremendous success!
Fourteen golfers, supported by pledges from family, friends, and business associates, teed off at 7:30am on Monday, May 14, and played over 100 holes of golf to benefit orphans worldwide.
The pledges and donations the golfers received, in addition to the contributions that many businesses made to the event as golf sponsors, resulted in a grand total of $35,605 being raised for the event. This amount far exceeded the golf marathon’s fundraising goal of $25,000.
The funds raised will be sent to several different orphanages and orphanage programs overseas to provide orphaned children with everyday items that we often take for granted, such as food, clothing, cribs, walkers, blankets, toys, coats, mittens, books, and more.
AAI would like to thank the event’s title sponsor, Kerkstra Precast, all of the corporations that sponsored the golf marathon, and the golfers and staff who contributed hours of time towards its success. Please know that your generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of these orphaned children.
Golfers, we have tentatively scheduled next year’s golf outing for Monday, May 12, 2008, at The Meadows Golf Club at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. Please e-mail Thomas Gill at tgill@adoptionassociates.net if you are interested in playing or would like more information.
