Southern Hills Golf Tournament a Huge Success

Posted on Sep 20, 2011 in Uncategorized

The Southern Hills Golf Tournament sponsored by Amy and Mike Clements was a huge success for the House of Hope. They had over 100 golfers that played, the Breeze radio station was there all day supporting the cause with raffles, door prizes, advertising and taking tons of pictures. We received a check for over $16,000 when it was said and done. The women from the shelter volunteered their day to help man the hole in ones and the registration tables and they had a great time.
