Twenty Nine Years and Still Going Strong

"Ultra awesome event" —that would be the definition of the 29th Annual Golf Outing for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Porter County, being held on July 9th at the Forest Park Golf Course. Yes, we have had celebrities in the past—golf pros, football players, etc. but that’s not why this is awesome and why everyone is there. I believe, in my heart, that they come and play, volunteer, sponsor or donate because of the children.

Anyone who has ever been involved in this annual outing knows that everyone who attends, whether they play golf or not, and even those who are solicited for prizes or as hole sponsors are ALL WINNERS! Why? Because it all goes to a great cause—the children of the Porter County Boys and Girls Clubs. I am sure that there is a percentage that arrives to socialize and have fun, another group that’s there for the food & beverage (who also have fun) and then of course, the serious percentage that are there to WIN! As, I said, no matter what the reason that brings the people there; they are participating in an event, whether they know it or not, that means the world to the club members.

Given the current economic conditions, we are very privileged to have the continuous support of so many people/businesses in the community. Their support is shown through donations of food, beverages, as well as local car dealers who have committed to our Hole In One Car Giveaway, just to name a few. The volunteers that are either board members, committee members, volunteer ambassadors, staff or people who are recruited by the afore mentioned, pour out their heart on this day in order to see good things continue to happen for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Porter County. And, we are also very pleased and proud to be able to say that we have many new sponsors and golfers that have joined us this year.

I would just like to say thank you to this great network of people that gather for this event, who believe, as I do, that you can make a difference in the life of a child. Your support and assistance helps us, help club members BE GREAT!

Please consider becoming a sponsor, volunteer or make a donation to the Boy and Girls Clubs of Porter County 29th Annual Golf Outing. For more information contact Pam at 219.464.7282 ext. 235.
