Colorado Greyhound Adoption

Hello Everyone,

CGA’s 9th annual golf tournament was held on Saturday July 18th.  It was a beautiful day, when we teed off with 44 golfers there was not a cloud in the sky. The golf tournament is an event that CGA puts on every year that
gets a lot of outside exposure. The tournament is filled up with mostly teams that are not members of CGA, therefore we are able to reach out to another crowd of people and spread the word about these wonderful hounds. We had some fosters that showed up and it is always great to see how excited people get when they meet a greyhound for the first time. The greyhounds that showed up were "greyt" ambassadors.

Thanks again for making this fundraiser a huge success and we raised $3,497 in profit for these wonderful hounds and had a good time doing it. In the 9 years that we have held the golf tournament, a total of $25,078 has been raised for CGA.

I would like to thank everyone that helped set up, or volunteer, or sponsor, or play, or came out for the lunch to support us. YOU are the ones that make these events happen. THANKS!!!!



I especially want to thank the following:
Rollie and Denise for promoting the event and getting some extra foursomes together, as well as, getting all of the "goodie bags" together and helping out with the registration.
Roxanne for helping with registration and with the door prizes too.
Chad for helping out with registration
Jody for keeping up with the registrations on the online store.
Will for gathering up all of those balls for the goodie bags.

Rene and Sue for bringing the CGA store to the event.
Paul and Terri for volunteering their time camping out on hole #13 all day to watch for a hole in one contest.
Barb for getting most of the wonderful prizes donated.
Lori for getting the beer for the win your height in beer contest.

Kay for bringing the tents and helping out with the registration also.
Nick "The Hammer" for raising money with his long drive skills.
The Homestead at Fox Hollow for allowing us to bring the hounds to the course. We are welcome to bring them to the patio at the Homestead Grill anytime. They love the hounds. Please support them during the rest of the year, whether it's to play a round or enjoy lunch or dinner.

Last, but not least, I'd like to thank everyone who brought their hounds, came out to enjoy the lunch, played in the tournament, and contributed to a hole sponsor.

I hope I have not forgotten anyone, if so, I apologize in advance. This event could not have happened without
a bunch of teamwork and effort on the part of the many people listed here.

A special thank you goes out to our hole sponsors:
Mike and Chris Benedict for sponsoring a hole to say “THANKS TO ALL THE FOSTER FAMILIES."
Susan Bero with Greyhound Greetings
Elizabeth Animal Hospital
