Golf Tournament raises over $22,000
Tenth annual event
again benefits The Senior Source
|
The 10th Annual TIAA Charity Golf Tournament
raised $22,160 in donations and pledges for The Senior Source, a
non-profit organization that has worked to improve the quality of
life for senior citizens in the North Texas area for more than 45
years. For only the second time in its history, the tournament had
to be rescheduled because of heavy rains.
When some 64 golfers took to the course at the
Woodbridge Golf Club in Wylie on Monday, September 28, they
experienced some of the best golf weather ever for a TIAA
tournament. Bob Law, a director and currently chair of the finance
committee for The Senior Source, thanked golfers for their
contributions and gave a brief review of the programs benefitting
seniors.
TIAA President Ronnie Brandenburg
presented a check representing the proceeds to Molly Bogen,
Executive Director of The Senior Source. Since 2001, the TIAA has
raised more than $200,000 to benefit The Senior Source. Molly and
her associates have commented many times on the importance of the
TIAA to their organization and continue to express their
appreciation for the support.
