Downing & Downing's 18th Annual Charity Golf Outing
To Benefit Make-A-Wish
 


THE BEST EVER!!!
This event was positively the best we've ever had. the Course was fantastic, the weather was great, and the people at the course were marvelous! This PRIVATE club and its members insisted that we hold the outing at their course and passed on a discount as their way of showing their local Make-A-Wish Chapter that they respected and supported their efforts.

David Peach, the local Make-A-Wish kid representative spent all day polishing clubs at one of the par 3's having a great time, making lots of tips, and bringing everyone in touch with why we do this event!

Malcom Beckwith, AVP of LP for Marshall's stole the show by winning most of the raffles and even the Gussie Biff award for his anti-snake-bite remedy!


Sandy Katz proved once again why he consistently raises more donations then anyone else in the retail industry!

 

Thanks to all the co-sponsors and retailers for supporting the event and making this such a fantastic day, raising over $45,000. LET'S DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR, REACH $100,000 AND MAKE SURE THAT:

"WHEREVER WE GO WE LEAVE WISHES BEHIND"
