"GOLF FOR THE GOLD (& BLUE)"

Golf Tournament 2008

Believe it or not, the HCE PTA is already planning our 2nd Annual "Golf for the Gold (& Blue)". Last year's event was a tremendous success and lots of fun for the 80 golfers and more than 20 volunteers. We are looking to amplify that experience this year!

If you would like to assist (in any way), we'd love to hear from you. Please complete this form and return it to your child's teacher by Friday, May 30, 2008. You don't need to have prior experience in order to contribute - all you need is a desire to help. If you possess that desire, we want you to join us at our kick-off meeting!

We have already secured our $1 Million Hole-in-One sponsor: Consuelo Souders of Keller Williams Realty. (Let's not forget that last year one of our golfers came within 27" of winning the Million Dollar prize). Consuelo was so excited to support our PTA, she actually committed to being this year's Hole-in-Sponsor on the day of last year's tournament. We are hoping to receive the same enthusiasm from the rest of last year's sponsors, as well as other area businesses for this year's tournament.

Mark your calendar's now!! We will host our 2nd tournament at Highland Creek Golf Club on Monday, October 13, 2008 (Columbus Day), with a shotgun start at 1:00 PM (dinner will be provided in the clubhouse following the tournament). If you would like to support us through sponsorships or donations, please contact our VP of Fundraising, Denise Lynch at 704-947-8147 or by email. More details will follow as we get closer to this fun filled event.

2007: Only 27” Away From Being a Millionaire!!

Monday, October 22, 2007 was our First Annual “Golf for the Gold (& Blue)” at the Highland Creek Golf Club, and everyone in attendance had a great time!! With more than 80 golfers, we took to the course at 10:00am, and finished 100+ strong (golfers, volunteers & students) in the clubhouse with an awesome Awards Reception. All the raffle prizes and golfer gifts, however, were overshadowed by the fact that Ron Staskel nearly sank his $1,000,000 shot!! Only 27” away!!! Maybe next year!

The PTA would like to thank everyone who supported this event!! Without the sponsors & volunteers, this event would not have been the success it was. We would especially like to thank our Community Sponsors!! Because of them, we are please to announce that the PTA has met its budget for 2007-2008, and we will not have to host a second fundraiser in the spring! So be sure to thank a sponsor!!
