On Monday, April 15th, the Boca West Community Charitable Foundation held its first Annual $100,000 Charity Golf Tournament.
Initiated in November of 2010, the Foundation identifies and funds projects to assist children and their families in need in the Boca Raton and South Palm Beach County areas. The group has raised more than $700,000 to support eleven local charities including Gift of Life. Last year, the Foundation donated $5,000 to help process test kits for potential donors to join Gift of Life’s registry.
As part of this year’s golf tournament, foursomes competed on behalf of each of the various charities. Gift of Life’s team won the tournament and $12,000! The players were friends, supporters, and relatives of our Gift of Life family, including Jordan “JB” Becker, Craig Ferguson, Gary “G2” Goldman, Max Karyo, Justin “JMAC” McAiney, Chris Moore, Christopher Zehetmaier, and Gregg Francis.
The teams played for four hours and were coached by Gift of Life’s Chief Operating and Financial Officer, Gregg Francis, who said, “We won the golf tournament, which was great, but the biggest joy was being a part of something that is going to help children.” He added, “I had the pleasure of meeting some of the staff and volunteers of the other charities that also benefited from this event, and I cannot emphasize what a great job they all do.”
Gift of Life thanks all of those who participated on our behalf! We look forward to making it “two in a row” in 2014!
