RECAP: 36th Annual Chipping for Charity Golf Outing
The 36th Annual EHTC Chipping for Charity Golf Outing was a resounding success, reflecting the core values we cherish at EHTC. This year’s event was not only a testament to our collective commitment to the community, but also a celebration of teamwork, passion, and the spirit of giving.
Held at Scott Lake Golf & Practice Center in Comstock Park, the event attracted golf enthusiasts of all skill levels. Since 1962, Scott Lake has been a welcoming place for golfers, making it the perfect venue for our outing. The blend of their passion for the game and our commitment to community service created an unforgettable atmosphere for this event.
This year, we partnered with PAWS® With a Cause, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the independence and quality of life for people with disabilities through custom-trained assistance dogs. The event raised an impressive $22,000 for PAWS® With a Cause, allowing them to further their mission and impact more lives.
One of the most heartwarming aspects of the event was the presence of 7 PAWS® dogs, who charmed everyone with their friendly demeanor. Meeting these incredible animals provided a tangible connection to the cause we were supporting and highlighted the importance of our contributions.
Additionally, the excitement of a golfer achieving a hole in one added to the day's joy and camaraderie. This event wasn’t just about golf; it was about coming together for a greater purpose and celebrating our collective efforts to make a difference.
