The 26th Grampy’s Charity Open was special in that by joining forces with The Ronald McDonald House in Providence, Rhode Island we doubled the size of our event. We had 250 golfers who played with a Pro or a Celebrity including Luis Tiant and Jim Rice. With your support this combined effort raised a total of $155,000 for The Ronald McDonald House and Grampy’s Charities.
Next summer our tournament will be growing again, using both courses at Lake of Isles the first day of the event. Participants will be playing with celebrities on both the North and South courses on Monday, July 25th and on the North course Tuesday, July 26th. With the addition of a third course we hope to hit $200,000.
Grampy's would like to express our sincere thanks. Whether you were a Platinum Sponsor giving us $10,000 plus, a donor to our famous Silent Auction, a Hole Sponsor giving us $500 or someone who signed up to play in our tournament, it is your support that has allowed us to grow our event in these difficult times. Thank you from the Grampy’s Charities Board of Directors and from the recipients of your good will.
For those of you that were not able to participate we look forward to having you join us in July 2011.
