NCAMP
Golf Classic is a Hit
The third annual NCAMP Charity Golf
Classic took place on October
8th at Brier Creek Country
Club in Raleigh, NC. It
was a big success, measured
by the fact that we clearly
made a public statewide statement
to the industry and the community
that NCAMP is doing great
things in an unselfish way
to “give back to our
communities” by conducting
this charitable fundraiser.
We
raised over $25,000, and
all net proceeds went to
benefit the National MS
Society. To date, NCAMP
has raised over $67,000 in
the last 3 years from this
charity golf tournament. During
these challenging times in
an ever-changing business
climate, one thing has remained
constant: the support
from our customers in the
community. We are very
proud to be able to make
a significant contribution
back to our friends in the
community who are in need
of our help.
Everyone
enjoyed a beautiful day
at a premier Arnold Palmer
signature design country
club golf course. The
day was full of spectacular
food and beverages, and tons
of fun. The tournament
was kicked off by Bob Bryan,
President of the National
MS Society, NC Chapter. “We
simply can’t thank
NCAMP enough for the generous
support you have provided
to the MS Society over the
last 3 years,” Bryan
announced. “The
people behind this tournament
and the participants here
today are truly special to
give of their time and resources
to help those who are afflicted
with multiple sclerosis. Everyday,
we are one step closer to
a cure. It is thanks
to the support of friends
like you that make it possible.”
Many
of the participants this
year told us that this
was the best golf tournament
they have ever played in. That
is a true testament to the
many great sponsors, volunteers
and staff that made this
tournament possible, as well
to the donors of all the
prizes and auction items.
During
the tournament, the players
enjoyed non-stop ice cold
beverages sponsored by
Fifth Third Bank and Laural
Bromhal, Simpson-Underwood
Realtors. The lunch
during the tournament was
a very unique carving station
sponsored by JK’s Restaurant,
with their executive chef
on hand to dole out the most
delectable and awesome food
you have ever seen at a golf
tournament. The players
were treated to wine tasting
during the tournament, which
was sponsored by Johnson
Brothers Carolina Distributors
with fantastic fine wines. The
putting contest, which is
always a huge hit, was sponsored
by Corporate Investors Mortgage
Group, Inc. Unfortunately,
nobody made a hole in one
on the Hole-in-One contest,
sponsored by Ferris & McCall
Attorneys at Law. But,
it made for some great competition,
with several players getting
with a few feet of winning
the $10,000 prize. The
team prizes were once again
sponsored by our friends
at Pinehurst Golf & Resort,
who are always one our biggest
and most loyal sponsors.
The
day wrapped up with an
awesome awards dinner,
with food provided by Ole
Time Barbecue in Raleigh. The
many generous contributions
toward the silent auction
and raffle, as well as the
donated food and beverages,
helped put us over the top
in our fundraising goal. Plus,
the players received a “win-win” treat
by buying or winning some
incredible items and having
fun all day.
All
in all, the 3rd Annual
NCAMP Golf Classic was
a huge success! It’s
really a beautiful thing
to be able to have so much
fun doing a worthy cause
like raising money for a
noble charity.
