Greenway/Hagan Golf/Tennis Tournaments
Trademark Fundraiser for the Roswell Club Funds most of our charitable activities for the year. This 37th year we blew the lid off previous fundraising efforts netting over $200K after expenses. This money flows to 50+ charities in our community via grants. It also funds the sponsorship of a school we sponsor in Honduras. Funds from this effort will feed initiatives in all 5 of RI's "Avenues of Service".
Every member of our club is tasked with helping with this event. So we get over 90% club involvement plus families and the organizations we support. But calculating the impact of this fundraiser is daunting as it helps fund the operations of so many other organizations. Easily, this impacts thousands of lives.
While this is a one day event, it takes a year of planning and fundraising to make it a success. And we now combine three major events into one with Golf, Tennis and an evening casino / auction and dinner. Both golf and tennis require two full flights run in the morning and in the afternoon.
Roswell Rotary's tournament is touted to be the largest such non-profit event in the Southeast. As a result, we get full media coverage in our local press.
The impact on the community must be considered in the thousands given that every sector of non-profits is touched by our grants.
As hard as we work, and as big as this event is, most members would also say they have the most fun participating.
Beautiful Day
Malone called in a favor and we had a perfect sunny day for the tournaments.
Roswell Country Club
The parking lot filled with sponsors, volunteers, golfers and tennis players. But we took special care of our sponsors.
Registration
Just getting over 250 golfers and over 60 tennis players signed in is hard work. Goody bags and swag for all!
Ball Drop
Hundreds of balls bought for a chance to win a pot if your ball ends up in the cup!
Hagan Classic
The only way we could top our golf tournament was to add this tennis tournament. Thanks Bob for seeding it!
Morning Flight
This is just the first golf round before all the carts hit the links.
The Cup!
We have fun chasing the cup up to the tournament. Then serving up Hagan-aid all day until we find the new winner of the cup!
Suitable for Framing!
Every golf group get photographed and keepsake photos can be downloaded.
The Party
When the sun sets, the party just moves inside. Both a live and silent auction help boost the bottom line.
