Second Annual Golf Outing
2nd Annual MSF Golf Outing/Auction was a SUCCESS!
100 degree temperatures and 80% humidity dampened the shirts, but not the spirits of this years Mitchell Swaback Foundation golf outing participants. 126 golfers challenged the beautiful Rolling Green Country Club's course on July 17th. Not only did more men come out and join us for golf this year, we saw four ladies challenge the course as well. Congratulations to Pat Reynolds, one of the four, for out driving the men and winning longest drive on hole #6.
The second annual event included over 200 individuals for our silent and live auctions as well as dinner and program. This year's program included a video of a team of 12 individuals who traveled to Peru to help build a children's day care center. In addition to the daycare center MSF is building six new homes to house 60 children along with house parents. Mitch had visited and served at the same orphanage a few years ago. But we're still not finished! There is a lot more work and funding needed to make sure orphans in Peru have a safe and secure place to call home. 100% of this year's funds raised will go directly to fund MSF projects. This year we surpassed last year's numbers in total funds raised, reaching $60,000 from our live and silent auctions.
Pastor James MacDonald from Harvest Bible Chapel closed the evening with a challenge to all. The Mitchell Swaback Foundation is about reaching out to people and touching their hearts. Mitch is the inspiration and the catalyst for all of us to continue on sharing our wealth, time, and hearts for the Kingdom of Christ.
Plan today to join us next summer for this great event!
A special Thank You to all of you who joined us and helped make this year's event a huge success!
