| Red Cross Charity Golf Tournament - July 28, 2008 |
 |
The 26th Annual Red Cross Charity Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, July 28, 2008, at Brookside Country Club in Macungie. Classic sponsors are the Haffner-Trinkle Foundation and Morgan Stanley: The Haddad Group - Allentown and The Gehman-Yanders Group - Allentown.
The day will begin with registration and continental breakfast at 8 a.m., followed by a chance to warm up with range privileges, and a shotgun scramble promptly at 9 a.m. Snacks and beverages will be provided for players on the course. Each golfer will receive a commemorative soft-side cooler packed with goodies like a sleeve of golf balls, tees, and other golfing essentials.
At the 19th hole, players will enjoy a hot and cold lunch buffet. Keep your eyes to the sky as Ted Rosenberger pilots his Rolls-Royce powered Enstrom 480B
helicopter and drops 300 golf balls onto a makeshift green in a 50/50 cash contest. Valuable prizes will be awarded to teams and individuals in several different categories. There will also be a raffle and silent auction so no one goes home empty-handed!
Contests
What's a benefit golf tournament without contests? Here's what we have lined up so far:
| Hole-in-One Contests | Take your best shot (you only get one!) at three, free hole-in-one contests. |
| Closest to the Pin | Land your shot closest to the pin and you could be the prize winner. $10 per player. |
| Pot of Gold | Land your shot in the "bull's-eye," and you'll pocket some cash! Total proceeds from the contest are split half with the Red Cross and half with the winner (or winners) whose ball makes it in the "bull's-eye." $10 per player. |
| Helicopter Ball Drop | Don't miss the spectacular helicopter ball drop! Watch Ted Rosenberger pilot his Rolls-Royce powered Enstrom 480B helicopter and drop 300 golf balls onto a makeshift green in a 50/50 cash contest. The ball landing closest to the "target" wins the 50/50 cash prize. Purchase your chances - $10 each or 3 for $25 - ahead of time by contacting Katie Newman at 610-865-4400, ext. 259 or NewmanK@usa.redcross.org
