Rally For Recreation 2012: Celebrity Golf Tournament

The Gilmore | Henne Community Fund hosted our 3rd Annual Rally for Recreation in 2012. This year we decided to take a break from the immense planning of the comedy showcase in order to focus more on strengthening our organization and increasing our park programming. Instead, we hosted a Celebrity Golf Tournament at the Berkshire Country Club, presented by Superior Oxygen & Medical Equipment.

This was not your typical golf tournament by any means. There was a variety of food scattered throughout the 18 hole course, at just about every hole. Beverages were flowing with no golfer left thirsty. Numerous NFL players, professional golfers, a sports radio talk show host, and several local celebrities were on board and spent the day putting around with different foursomes throughout the day. Challenges were abound on the course in order to turn-up everyone's golf game. After 2 flights of golf and over 180 golfers, we held a cocktail party which included an awards presentation and both silent and live auctions. We had an impressive turnout to both the golf tournament and cocktail party and were once again humbled by the support from the community and everyone involved.
