Over the course of my eight plus years with the Club I established three signature special events for the organization including the "All Aboard for Kids" Auction held in April, the "Tee it Up for Kids" golf tournament held in August and the "Champions for Youth" Dinner held in December. I also established an Annual Sponsorship program for large corporate donors that we approach once a year for a major sponsorship and which includes benefits for all three of our major annual special events.
