You may not realize it but our
past sponsors and golfers have become a part of something very special.
In just seven years, our charity event has generated over $100,000
which is donated to the
Make-A-Wish
Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic and helps children's wishes come true. These are
children from your community who face life-threatening illnesses and
whose families endure countless hospital visits and overwhelming
medical expenses. The thoughtfulness of our supporters provides
lasting memories for families who cannot personally thank us enough
for the help. We cannot thank our supporters enough for their help
and we extend our sincerest appreciation. Our hope is that you will
become a part of this special cause.
As many of you know, there is a
substantial amount of work involved in organizing a golf tournament
to benefit charity. Our Board does not mind the work because our
objective is to reminisce about Chad, my brother who lost his life
in a car accident, while we support his favorite charity, the
Make-A-Wish
Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic. In any case, we believe the real work is sponsors
and golfers opening their heart, and their checkbooks, in support of
our event.
This year’s tournament is being held
on Friday, September 17th at the The Links at Challedon in
Mt. Airy, MD. With your help, we will
grant wishes to other
children and truly make wishes come true for some very special
kids. Whether it is a trip to Disney World, to meet a favorite
celebrity or simply to own a computer, each wish provides the child
and family with a break from the painful routine of doctors and
hospitals.
Your tax-deductible donation will get
us that much closer to our goal. All sponsors will receive credit
in our tournament program and listings in pre- and post event press
releases. Details
on sponsorship opportunities can be found above. We are happy to
work with organizations on a unique sponsorship package outside of
the ones listed. We are also looking for donations and merchandise
that we can use as "goodie" bag items, prizes and giveaways for our
raffle and silent auction.
Please feel free to contact Steve

On behalf of the
Make-A-Wish
Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic and the
Chad Blum Memorial Charities,
we thank you for your support of our efforts.
