Despite the hot weather on July 20, 143 of a record 144 registered golfers turned out for a day of relaxation and good fellowship in the sun at the beautiful Copetown Woods golf course. We also had a record number of sponsors and altogether were privileged to raise over $60,000 in support of financial aid and scholarship funding for Redeemer's students!
Much thanks to all our participants and to our sponsors, this year especially to those who were able to be with us for the first time, like the Hamilton Tiger Cats' Chipping Contest, another indication of Redeemer's increasing involvement and witness in our local community.
Thanks to our organizing team for their hard work and skills in getting everything done when and where it was needed. Thanks as well to all our volunteer staff and tee hosts from many Redeemer departments who were able to come out for the day and be on the course to welcome our guests despite some blistering heat. And special thanks go to Copetown Woods staff whose capable and gracious assistance made the task a lot easier for us.
Above all, we thank our Lord for a successful tournament and an enjoyable day, and for the safe travel for all our participants.
We look forward to seeing you at our Seventh Annual Tournament in 2012!
Watch this space for more information.
