President Nancy's Message



Mark your calendars for September 9th! The Aubrey Greenway Golf and Hagan Cup Tennis Tournaments at Brookfield Country Club are not just another day of sports—they're crucial to funding our charity partners and the vital services they provide to our community.

This year, more than ever, we need all hands on deck. Here's how you can help:

Volunteer: Lend your time and skills to ensure the event runs smoothly.

Sponsor: Your sponsorship helps underwrite costs, allowing more funds to go directly to our charities.

Play Golf or Tennis: Participate in the tournaments and enjoy a day of friendly competition for a great cause.

Donate: Encourage your friends and family to contribute. Every dollar makes a difference.

To amplify our efforts, please share our video about our charities on your social media or directly with friends. This video showcases why we are people of action and underscores our motto, "Service Above Self." It's a powerful way to communicate the importance of our work and the impact of these tournaments.

Join us in making a tangible difference. With your help, we can ensure our charity partners continue to thrive and support those who need it most. Let's come together on September 9th at Brookfield Country Club to support this great cause. We hope to see you there, ready to volunteer, sponsor, play, and spread the word. Together, we can achieve incredible things!

President Nancy

Congratulations Nancy!
