8th Annual Golf Tournament

This event under the direction of Mike Hoeksema was held on August 15, 2021, at Boulder Pointe Golf Course.  This year’s outing was dedicated to Flo Pilarcik.  Flo was very instrumental in the very early development of Drew’s Home of Clarkston. Over 190 golfers played the course, and another 52 joined them for an excellent dinner prepared by the Boulder Pointe staff. As a result of the donations made by many generous participants, the golfer registrations, the raffle, and the 50/50, the outing raised approximately $50,000.  As a result of previous fundraisers, we have been able to completely remodel apartments 1, 2, and 9. This construction has enabled us to make great progress in support of our mission to provide safe, accessible, and comfortable living conditions to enhance the lives of adults with disabilities.  With these new dollars, we will be able to continue our mission. The huge success of this outing was a direct result of the many contributions of time and dollars offered by the golfers, sponsors, and volunteers.  We thank you for your support, and we look forward to your participation in next year’s event.  We would also like to thank all of the area Knights of Columbus councils that have continued to support our many different fundraising events throughout the years.
