What an fantastic day for the children and families we serve! Sunny Ridge extends a warm thank you to all our golfers who participated in our Benefit Golf Outing at Cantigny Golf Club on June 7th. This year's event raised over $103,000, and included many moms and dads from our domestic and international adoptive families. We also welcomed many new companies and small businesses who supported our Outing!
Our Benefit was led by the fine support of many Golf Outing Sponsors. Thank you to our Title Sponsor, the Bell Family Foundation, and to Burt & Joan Bowen for their assistance with this sponsorship as well as the Bag Tag Sponsorship. Thanks to Meccor Industries, Inc. and Mr. Jon Eng for sponsoring our Dinner. Our gratitude also goes out to Chatham Rug as well as Dick and Patty Katzmann, who sponsored our beverages and brought a growing family of supporters out for our Benefit. Thank you Katzmanns!
Thanks to Cigna and Assurance Agency for our Lunch Sponsorship, and to BlueCross BlueShield who kindly sponsored our Hole-In-One Contest. And thank you to First Suburban National Bank, for sponsoring our Driving Range this year. Those of you who attended the dinner and live auction noticed our new auctioneer, Greg "The G Man" Dellinger, who ignited the crowd with his endless energy! This year's auction raised close to $12,000! Thank you, G Man! Thank you to all those who sponsored a hole or sent a donation. And thanks to all those who donated items for our auction! What a great selection of items our guests were able to bid on!
A special thanks to all those who volunteered part or all of their day for Sunny Ridge. Your hands and heart made all the difference in producing this year's Outing. For those of you who wanted to attend but could not, be sure to join us next year, scheduled for Thursday, June 5, 2008. As we continue serving children and building families around the world, we celebrate this wonderful day and the special people who helped make it happen. See you next year! |
