Downing & Downing's
19th Annual Charity Golf Outing

to benefit Make-A-Wish

$70,000 RAISED! BECAUSE LP CARES!

THE BIGGEST, THE BEST, THE MOST EVER!

The 19th Annual Downing & Downing Charity Golf Outing was the biggest and the best ever. And raised over $70,000 for the Southern and Central Texas Chapter of The Make A Wish Foundation!

With more Co-Sponsors, more retailers, more LP executives, and more prizes than ever before we reached a milestone that none of us thought we’d ever reach.

The La Cantera Staff and course were fantastic and the weather held until we all were safely in the pavilion! With over 150 golfers this event has become the biggest industry specific charity golf outing in the entire retail community! And next year is already shaping up to be even bigger and better yet! Before leaving the NRF LP show in San Antonio that week we had more vendors lining up to jump in and help out. And folks that truly shows that LP CARES!

With Mike Regan of Home Depot winning a trip to London for he and his wife, Dennis Moss winning a cruise for two, Bob Sorrenson winning a very special anniversary weekend surprise, Jack Trilica winning the 50/50 raffle of over $1,500, and so many others taking home prizes how can anyone say I can’t make it next year!

But folks the thanks belongs to all of you who jumped in and helped!

Sandy Katz, Sam Rowel, Bob Sorrenson, Steve Ippolito, Steve Gronsky, Dave Myers, Dan Doyle, Ed Stamper, Eric Hutchison, Kevin Valentine, Frank Johns, Don Allen, Lenny Smith, Lori Sorrenson. Peter Schmidt, Jim MacKenzie, Steve May, Cheryl Blake, Doug Wicklander, Rich Mellor, Alan Tague, Paul Jones, Cynthia Knowles, Leta Jones, Dave Johnston, Ray Dezarate, Gary Johnson, John Fevelo, and so many others!


 




 

THANKS EVERYBODY! For all of you have truly shown that LP CARES!

See you all next year in Orlando!
