Parents’ Group puts on successful 2018 Golf Tournament

The Parents’ Group held their annual Golf Tournament on Friday, November 16th at Bardmoor Golf and Country Club. There were winners all around, including a prize-winning hole-in-one!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and the Parents’ Group has so much to be thankful for. The Golf Tournament was a tremendous success, raising around $10,000. They held a 50/50 raffle contest, and Farragut parent Elaine Wallace won $1,400. Even more impressively, Farragut parent Sally McCauley hit a hole-in-one on a contest hole and won a trip for two to Hawaii valued at $10,000!

There were many wonderful raffle prizes, including an Orange Theory Fitness package, vacations to Sirata Beach Resort and Beach House Suites, golf lessons, and a baseball signed by New York Yankee player Didi Gregorius. Bardmoor Golf and Country Club was a fantastic host and made sure that everyone had a good time and that the tournament went smoothly. The Parents’ Group would like to send a special thanks to the Salebra family for donating McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches, coffee, water, and juices, to those who donated all of the amazing raffle prizes, and to our volunteers. Congratulations to our 1st Place Team, composed of Tony Pemble, Ryan Hearn, Mike Morris, and Bill Coughlin! View pictures of the event.
