Here’s a little quiz for golfers and those of you who follow golf (or at least those of you who like quizzes). When is 85 a GREAT golf score? Well, the answer is when you combine 78 local (lets call them) “golfers” with seven generous local sponsors and you end with more than $6,000 raised to support local charities that serve our community. That is a GREAT SCORE!!!
In April the Suwanee Business Alliance held the 12th Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Hamilton Mill Golf Course in an on-going effort to lend a helping hand to those in the community who don’t ask for help, but sure could use a bit from time to time. Thanks to the growing list of sponsors, the SBA event raised the much appreciated funds. This year’s sponsors included around 40 companies and local businesses who purchased Tee & Green Signs, donated prizes and/or funds, not to mention the large cadre of SBA members and friends who spent countless hours planning, running around town gathering support, signing up sponsors and players, manning the tournament tables and about 100 other things, all to help make the day a great success!
The money raised, along with the annual membership dues of $60 a year, goes to provide local assistance to groups such as Veterans Sentinels, Suwanee Performing Arts, Rainbow Village, The Quinn House, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, GaGa for TaTas, The American Red Cross, Suwanee SPCA, Annandale Village, Foster Children’s Foundation, and others in our local community.
If you missed this year’s event don’t worry – we’re deep into planning for next spring’s outing. In the meantime, consider visiting the SBA as our guest at the next SBA meeting and find out why more than 200 local business folks consider us their home for business development, meeting new friends, cultivating old freindships, and helping out our community – all while having a LOT of fun.
