The Children's Course hosted it's 5th Annual Wine & Golf Ball "Fore" The Children's Course, on Friday April 3rd, 2009 at the Oregon Golf Club. The event was a big success, netting more than $58,000 to support our outreach programs for children!
The night was full of fun! It included wine-tasting, hors d'oeuvres, a silent and live auction, and exciting games and prizes! Eight renowned Oregon and Washington wines were featured in the tasting, and live music was performed by The Dan Balmer trio.
The Benefit:
The Children's Course serves disadvantaged and at-risk youth, special needs children and all young people that can benefit from our curriculum. Children learn invaluable life skills which allow them to be successful both on and off the golf course. In 2008, The Children's Course provided more than 14,000 golf and life skills lessons to more than 3,500 youth. We partner with nearly 80 schools and charitable organizations in the greater Portland area.
Melissa Merrigan and Sarah Wood from the First Tee program were selected to attend the Future Leaders Forum in Orlando, Florida, sponsored by Toro!
