Golf Tourament a Success

The Matt Garcia Foundation’s 2010 First Annual Charity Golf Tournament is behind us and I would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting our event. It was a pleasure sharing this amazing day with you! Once again, your support ensured the success of this tournament. As tournament chairperson, it was an honor and a pleasure to have worked with such an amazing group of people. I cannot express enough gratitude to the 50 plus volunteers for all of their hard work and dedication. It was you and your passion that made the day a tremendous success!
We hope those of you who attended this event experienced what I would like to call the “WOW” factor. Please know that we do recognize that our event (as successful as it was) did not go off with out a few “hiccups”; therefore, we do ask for your input as to where you think we could improve. Receipts and thank yous are at the top of the list, and for the golfers who placed in our tournament, please accept my apologizes, as the list of names were not kept.
