The Green Awaits You

The biggest golf outing of the year is awaiting you and your team this spring! The 19TH Annual Gene Filippis Memorial Golf Benefit will be held June 2ND at Great Oaks Country Club in Rochester.

By attending this extraordinary event, you'll not only spend the day on a gorgeous golf course, you'll be helping to raise funding for the Leader Dogs for the Blind and the Athletes with Disabilities Hall of Fame.

The Leader Dogs for the Blind, founded in 1939, is the only dog school in America that offers programs for both sight and hearing impaired individuals. Financial support goes directly to helping increase the independence of blind and partially sighted people around the world.

Another noteworthy organization, the Athletes with Disabilities Hall of Fame, will benefit from the golf outing as well. The Hall of Fame's mission is to honor Michigan's

athletes with disabilities who have demonstrated achievements in sports and are positive role models in the community. They are also dedicated to educating the public about sports for the disabled.

During the day, 4-5 person teams will play a scramble format for 18 holes, including a Vegas Hole, a Longest Drive Contest, a Closest to the Pin Contest, and a Hole in One Contest. Throughout lunch and dinner, you can acquire some valuable sports memorabilia at our silent auction and raffle.

Various sponsorship packages are still available, as are
single golfing tickets, but the event is quickly approaching. Please contact Sherri Szep if you are interested in more information about the Gene Filippis Memorial Golf Benefit at (248) 829-8277.
