2011 Putting Fore Horizons was a HUGE Success!!
Over 150 people saddled up for this year’s Putting Fore Horizons fundraiser held at the Old Salem Visitors Center on Friday, April 8. This year’s theme was the Wild Wild West - Shoot Out on the Horizon and included nine holes of indoor putting, each cleverly decorated to theme, a live auction, entertainment, cookout style fare, festive beverages, and loads of fun. A group of dedicated volunteers, the Friends of Horizons Guild, organizes this fundraiser every other year to financially support Horizons. The funds raised go directly toward meeting current needs such as wheelchairs, specialized bathing tubs, hydraulic lifts, specially fitted transportation vehicles and furniture.
Co-Chairs of this year’s event, Anna Ball Hodge and Kay D. Burress King, did an outstanding job coordinating the event and securing sponsors. This year’s event raised $32,000. Major sponsors included: Reyonlds American, Wells Fargo, GMAC Insurance, Alegria, and an anonymous donor. A special thank you goes out to the entire Friends of Guild team for making this year’s Putting Fore Horizons an event that will always be remembered.
