Thomasville Raises $25,000 for United Way

For several years, the Caterpillar Corporation in Thomasville sponsored a golf tournament to raise money for the United Way. Unfortunately, Caterpillar closed their doors in 2016 and their manufacturing was relocated from Thomas County’s community. Rotarian Scooter Grubbs came to the Board and asked if the club would consider carrying on this tradition since the United Way of Thomas County supports over 18 organizations in the community. The Board approved it and on August 26, 2017, Rotary Club of Thomasville held its first annual Rotary Golf Classic to support the United Way. The club raised over $11,000 the first year and in year four the club raised and presented United Way a check for $25,000.

In 2019 Rotarian Rick Piper established the W.C. Niebaum (Rick's grandfather who introduced him to the game of golf) trophy for the high school competition. This year's high school winner was the Thomas County Central High School golf team.

We enjoy helping our community and United Way is one umbrella that allows us to serve and reach more. This event further exposes our philanthropic organization to this community and surrounding communities.
