On Saturday, August 3, 2024 at Suburban Golf Course in Bryan, Ohio, the 8th Annual Charity Golf Outing for Sarah's Friends unfolded with enthusiasm and community spirit. The event, aimed at supporting survivors of crime in Williams County, brought together golfers, sponsors, and volunteers for a day filled with activities and heartwarming moments.
The golf outing saw 20 foursomes take to the greens, each team ready to compete and contribute to a noble cause. The event was bolstered by the generosity of 27 sponsors, whose combined contributions totaled an impressive $8,600. Their support underscored the community's commitment to aiding survivors of crime.
The day started on a sweet note, thanks to Chief Supermarkets, who provided a delightful donut breakfast. As the morning progressed and the competition heated up, golfers enjoyed delicious cupcakes for lunch, courtesy of Partner in Crime Catering. State Bank ensured that participants were well-fed, donating lunch through their food truck, which became a popular spot for a midday break.
The outing featured several exciting on-course activities designed to challenge and entertain the golfers: longest putt, longest drive for men, women and seniors, and closest to the pin for men and women. Adding to the excitement, a golf ball launcher provided a thrilling experience, while a 50/50 raffle gave participants a chance to win big. A new and unique "Karaoke Hole" was introduced this year, offering an entertaining twist and an opportunity for players to gain an advantage through their singing talents.
In a touching act of solidarity, the winning team chose to donate their $500 prize back to Sarah's Friends, further supporting the cause and exemplifying the spirit of the event.
All proceeds from the golf outing will directly benefit survivors of crime in Williams County, providing them with essential services and resources. The success of this event is a testament to the generosity and compassion of our community.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, sponsored, and volunteers. Your contributions make a significant difference, helping Sarah's Friends continue its mission of offering support, hope, and empowerment to those in need.
This year's charity golf outing was more than just a day of golf; it was a celebration of community and a powerful demonstration of kindness and generosity. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year as we continue to make a positive impact together.
