First, a big and sincere thank you to our Tournament Chairman, Jay Cann and Crump Kirby, for their labor of love in organizing the Youth Achiever Charity Golf Classic. I’ve played in many charity golf events and this is one of the very best. A great cause, a great golf course, great people, with great food and refreshments. What more can you ask for!
Second, our deepest appreciation to the many tournament sponsors and players. Without you, we don’t have a successful tournament that raises money for our Youth Achiever Program Scholarship Fund. Thank you for your support!
Sign up a foursome today and see you on May 24th at Deerwood Country Club.
The Southside Business Men’s Club, Youth Achiever Charity Golf Classic holds a very special place in my heart since its conception in 1996. I can’t believe we are hosting our 15th Year. I have truly enjoyed working with our Golf Committee over the past two years. This year the Committee and I have put together a wonderful tribute to our tournament, plus some very special surprises during our regular Club Meeting on Wednesday April 28th. I promise you will not be disappointed.
We hope 2010 will be THE year that will exceed our dream for a full field of 100 Participants and 40 Sponsors. I hope you will consider becoming part of one of the nicest charity golf tournaments in town. Ask a friend or two, surprise a client and show them a wonderful time on a beautiful day at a Private Golf Course for only $125 per person. You’ll have a great time, a nice lunch, plenty of beverages all day, a marvelous BBQ Rib & Chicken Dinner and the opportunity to win or bid on fabulous silent auction items and prizes.
All of the proceeds from our Youth Achiever Charity Golf Classic go directly to the Southside Business Men’s Club Charities, Inc., a 501c3 corporation, which provides the funding for Annual Scholarships that are made available to our local high school graduating seniors. For more information about this opportunity, visit our website: www.southsidebusinessmensclub.com.
At the end of the day you will have a wonderful time at the Awards Banquet, meeting people and dining on the best BBQ Ribs and chicken around town. Thank you for this opportunity to serve as your 2010 Tournament Chairman. Please remember “To Give from Your Heart”.
A dozen years ago or so I was attending a SBMC Board of Governors meeting talking about raising money for our newly founded Youth Achiever Program. We talked about raising a few hundred dollars, spending hundreds of volunteer hours having just a couple of events. Then it hit me! I was already involved in three other charity golf tournaments in town: The Methodist Hospice Tournament, The Girls Scouts Tournament and the Doug Milne Memorial Tournament. So I made a motion at the Board meeting to start our own charity golf event. I enlisted the help of someone I knew I could count on, Jay Cann. The rest is history.
The first year (1996) we raised about $3,400 and every year since then, we have been able to increase the amount raised for the Youth Achiever Scholarship Fund. In 2008 we raised almost $18,000. It has been a pleasure working with Jay, knowing we will do our best to make this event better and better.
It is very fulfilling to give support to our wonderful YAP students. These dedicated kids arrive at school early and stay late. Rain or shine, they work hard to keep their fellow students safe as school crossing guards; understanding good grades keeps them on patrol. Our YAP children are the future, and with the support of the SBMC it is looking very bright.
It is an honor and a priviledge to be working with Jay D. Cann. It takes a special individual to give from their heart, especially to help children. Jay, and his lovely wife Lynn, are those types of people. Jay continues to give year, after year, after year. Your support is needed again this year, as the children of YAP are counting on the SBMC to continue the tradition. "See you on the green!"
