THE HOPE AND LIGHT FOUNDATION CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT

Presented by: Stock Building Supply

The Hope and Light Charity Golf Tournament held on May 26, 2006 was a huge success! Golfers hit the course at Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Twenty-eight teams enjoyed a beautiful day on the links and then it was off to Holly Hall for hors d’oeuvres and a live auction. A silent auction was also in full swing throughout the day. The total tournament income was $102,785!

“I am so proud of everyone who worked to make the event a success, but even more proud of the money we raised to help find a treatment or cure for SMA,” said Tournament Chair, Amanda Lawson.

The committee of twelve worked quickly to put the tournament together in less than six months. The fundraiser attracted close to sixty businesses and individuals as event sponsors. Stock Building Supply supported the tournament as presenting sponsor.

 “The South Carolina Chapter did an incredible job of organizing the tournament”, said Hope and Light President Stephanie Miller. “We appreciate everyone who participated locally and from afar.”

 The Hope and Light foundation is thankful to the sponsors, volunteers, donors and 112 golfers who helped make the golf tournament possible. Congratulations to the winning foursome of Ben Carter, Evin Martin, Rodney Tapp and Robbie Beirshank. Everyone who attended left knowing they were helping families win the battle against Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
