Transplant Foundation and GMBHA host the Annual Partners Golf Classic at Shula's Golf Club

As individuals got ready to start their weekend on Friday, April 23rd, Florida golf enthusiast teed off under a bright shiny sun for the 23rd Annual Partners Golf Tournament hosted by the Greater Miami and the Beaches Hotel Association at Shula's Golf Club, Miami Lakes.

"At a very difficult economic time, it was great to have raised much needed funds. I enjoyed seeing the players have a wonderful time on the green and at the reception. Proceeds raised from this tournament supported the Transplant Foundation's mission," added Eli Compton, Executive Director for the Transplant Foundation.  

Many of South Florida’s business owners, friends, and business associates sponsored the tournament and put together foursomes to support the cause. The foursomes competed for the winning title in over 18 holes as volunteers provided on-site refreshments throughout the day. Entrance fee for the tournament started at $250 per individual, which included a lunch and buffet dinner, a best ball scramble tournament and a hole-in-one prize from Largo Honda. In addition, Judge Stan Blake gave golfers a chance to cast their bids in a live and silent auction, which included sports memorabilia, spectacular weekend getaways and Taylor Made golf clubs.

The top three winning teams were given trophies and prizes of $150 gas gift cards and golf clubs were given to special event winners.

The Transplant Foundation would like to thank this year's golf tournament committee for their extra effort- Wendy Kallergis, Mike Furcht, Erik Compton, Linda Harvey, Scott Helms, and Stan Blake.
