First annual Liv Life Golf Outing

This post is a little over due. The first annual Liv Life golf outing was June 20th. It was more than a success! My dad, Jim Fish, and step-mom, Carol Zuhone-Fish, were the organizers/prize-getters/phone call makers/event coordinators of this fund raising event. With all the hole sponsors, silent auctions, raffle tickets, and donations the Foundation grossed $12,000 and netted $9,000. This was so much more than we expected. Our goal was to get 18 teams and ended up with 16. The weather was so perfect for the day. The event was held at the U of I Golf Course in Savoy, Il. The day provided 18 holes of golf, lunch, 3 drink tickets, snacks, gift bags, dinner, and a t-shirt. There was a chance to win a car with a hole in one. Unfortunately, no one won. We had A LOT of items donated for prizes, gifts, and the snacks were donated. We had an awesome banner donated to the foundation. I think the event was really well organized and generous! Thank you to dad and Carol for all the hard work, phone calls, meetings for prizes, etc. This was such a generous thing that you planned for the foundation. We look forward to having the event annually! Thank you to the Black girls for watching my girls that day. I wouldn't have had the opportunities to speak with people and sell tickets without your help! You ladies rock! Thank you to all our friends and family who gave their Friday to volunteer at the outing. Thank you to all the hole sponsor's, donor's, and businesses who gave money, time, or prizes. This was another great example of people's generosity and kindness. Keep an eye out for upcoming events and fundraisers! THANK YOU!!!
