Get Ready for The 4th Annual
Christopher Joseph Carrol "Listen to Your Heart" Golf Tournament
Heisman trophy winner George Rogers, Clemsons Donnell Woolford, heavyweight champion James Bonecrusher Smith, and Comedy Centrals Manny Olivera played this year and have committed to return for the 2007 tournament. We are looking forward to having nine celebrities next year and giving teams the opportunity to play golf with them. We will have a field of 224 golfers. The 2006 tournament was a sell-out - with over 185 participants and 250 dedicated sponsors, earning more than $24,000 for scholarship money to be awarded area high school seniors. This represents a 50% increase over 2005. And we look to the 2007 tournaments to bring in even more money for this purpose! An interesting thought came from a student applying for a scholarship. He suggested putting our Listen to Your Heart logo on wristbands for the kids (and grown-ups, too) to wear. A subtle, but very meaningful reminder that drinking and driving are not a good mix. There are already 2,000 people wearing them! A special word of thanks is due here for Mike Ross, Matt Biddington, and the entire staff at Barefoot Resorts for putting on a fantastic 2006 tournament. In our first three years we have had 497 golfers commit to our tournament and amazingly we have had only one no show. This speaks well for the support from our community. Our foundation will have given $67,500 in scholarships to 43 students in South Carolina, North Carolina, and New York in our first three years. We hope you can join us for our 2007 tournament - a great day of golf, celebrities, super prizes, scholarships for local high school seniors, and more.
