We need to thank so many people for making the 6th Annual Cougar Golf Classic such a success.

First of all, to the golfers, this event would not happen without you. You came, you played (in the rain), you bought auction items, and you had fun!
Next, the sponsors. Thank you for your generosity. The support from local (and far away) businesses is humbling. Your support is the backbone to our fundraising. Your donations allow us the freedom to run a successful program for ALL kids. We had a record number of tee sponsors this year with 76. Wow! The contributions large and small are so appreciated.

Also we had a record number of Hole in Ones available to golfers. Thank you to the dealerships that allowed this opportunity. DCH Toyota for the Scion, Tilly Marine for the ski boat, Wm Morris Chevrolet for the F150 Truck, and Billy Jones for the S-Class Mercedes.

Lastly, the committee members. We began work on the 2008 Cougar Golf Classic back in June. Meeting after meeting, phone calls and follow-ups. Our committee was driven to make this the best tournament yet, and they did! The people who made this event tick are as follows: Billy Jones-Golfers, Michele Horwitz and committee-Auction/Raffle, Jim Cole, Ken Martinez, Tim Laubacher, Dean Prophet-Sponsorships, Wendi Carrasco, Debra Reeves-Goodie Bags, Roni Grande-Publicity. And the “indispensables” Leslie Carpenter.

With the proceeds from this fundraiser we will have the ability to purchase new uniforms, practice gear, supply more balls, nets, training equipment, attend additional tournaments, hire additional coaches, allow for the program to pay for tournament and summer travel expenses for the players, give the kids team sweatshirts, polos and t-shirts, pay for meals during travel, and many, many more things. The money raised improves the quality of the entire athletic experience for these kids.

THANK YOU
Ann and Dan Larson
