'Keep Kids in School' golfers raise $125,000
published Apr. 28, 2011
Players at the recent Keep Kids in School Golf Tournament raised $125,000 to benefit Communities In Schools-Bay Area (CIS-Bay Area).
First-place honors went to the Hurricane Fence team, and second place went to the Johnson, Bender & Co.'s team. Third place went to the Medinc of Texas team.
The day's activities ended with a Putting Contest to win a BMW or two Mini Coopers from Advantage BMW Mini. Randy Hodges missed the final 60-foot putt by 1 inch.
Trophies were awarded at the after-tournament dinner at Bay Oaks Country Club. Judge Louie Ditta and radio personality Dayna Steele hosted the Live Auction.
"The community support has made this tournament the largest in the Bay Area and goes a long way in helping the 1,300 at-risk children CIS-Bay Area supports each year," said Rick Gornto, tournament chairman.
CIS-Bay Area is a dropout prevention program serving 15 campuses in Clear Creek and Dickinson Independent School Districts.
