Foundation Classic Supports Foundation’s Mission
The Alabama – NW Florida Golf Foundation hosted its Foundation Classic at the Country Club of Birmingham on November 13, 2023. The Foundation Classic was established to become the marquee fundraising event for the 501(c)(3) of the Alabama – NW Florida PGA Section to benefit the programming and outreach the foundation provides for communities across the region.
The event featured 14 teams of one Alabama – NW Florida PGA Professional and four Amateurs from across the Section. The winning team of Cody Cryer, Neil Graff, Bobby Greenawalt, Joe O’Brien, and MK Horton won with a score of 16-under par in the two Net Best-Ball Format.
The presenting sponsor, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, set up a bloody mary bar for the participants to enjoy before play. Participants were also gifted a Tito’s branded ball marker.
In addition to the fun round of golf at an excellent course, there was a silent auction where prizes were awarded that afternoon. Prizes included a Tito’s golf bag, Tito’s caddie cooler, a FootJoy package, a TaylorMade Stealth Driver, Billy Joel/Sting concert tickets, rounds of golf, and more.
Following the conclusion of the silent auction, there was a live auction of an E-Z-GO golf cart. We are so grateful to our sponsors, PGA Professionals, and friends of the game who donate countless products and keepsakes to help support our ongoing mission.
The mission of the Alabama – NW Florida Golf Foundation is to create life-changing opportunities for those who reside in the state of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle through community outreaches, programs, and initiatives the game of golf provides. The Foundation will accomplish this mission by supporting programs that grow the game while breaking down the barriers that discourage participation in the sport and business of golf.
The Section would like to extend its gratitude to Eric Eshleman and everyone at Country Club of Birmingham for hosting this wonderful event!
