Mike Schmidt, Bill Gullickson, Howard Johnson,

At our most recent event we were pleased to have
Jim Kaat as our Emcee for the evening. We were also
delighted to have Jack and Barbara Nicklaus participate
in the evening festivities at our 2009 event.
Participants enjoyed an early buffet luncheon, helicopter ball drop, chance to win a million $, an 18-hole scramble.
Following the golf, participants enjoyed cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, dinner and silent and live auctions
in addition to an awards ceremony.
All of the money raised goes to the children with cancer
and their families on the Treasure Coast.
