The 2023 Project KARE Hockey-Golf Invitational charity tournament was a smash hit last Saturday. Our amazing community of hockey friends filled the marathon day with lots of laughs, friendly competition, camaraderie and giving back. The KARE Golf-KARE Hockey group raised more than $4,000 to buy school supplies for Karen students in Karen State in Burma.
We started the day with 30 skaters playing 95 minutes of hockey at Big Bear Ice Arena. Then it was off to Heather Ridge Golf Club where our 48 golfers enjoyed the best weather of the week for a round of golf and sports magic.
Congratulations
Congratulations to our two foursomes tied with the winning shamble scores – Brian (Longball) Cornick, Dave Zucca, Hollywood Hotchkiss, Jason Nefs vs Adam Morris, Danny Kirkovich, Kyle Pobur and Zack Berry. Since no real competition ends in a tie, our lead volunteer, Molly Levitt, decided the championship award would be determined by chugalug. Winners … Adam, Danny, Kyle and Zack!
We also tip our caps to the 2023 Project KARE Golf award hole winners – Closest to the Pin on hole #5: Griff Griffis. Longest Putt on Hole #7: Kris Whalen. Closest to the Pin on Hole #10: Adam Morris. Longest Drive on Hole #16: Zack Berry.
HUGE thank you to this amazing group of hockey buddies who come out every year to celebrate friendship in our community and to support education for Karen students in Karen State in Burma.
