Bigs Golf Event a BIG Success! |
|
Golfers, community members and business leaders literally swung into action for local children this week to raise over $130,000 during Bigs Annual Golf Event presented by Bill Marsh Buick/GMC and Serra Toyota of Traverse City. Since 2016, the event has raised over $702,000 to defend the potential of local children by providing them with a caring, positive adult mentor.
“Life is a journey that no one should travel alone. The children in our program and on our waitlist need a Big Brother or Big Sisters who will stand in their corner. The funds raised at this event will provide and support the mentors needed to ignite the power and promise of these children,” said Cecilia Chesney, Bigs Executive Director. “We are grateful to everyone who made this event a smashing success; the golfers, our dedicated community partners, volunteers, our Golf Committee, the Silent Auction Committee and everyone who loves and enjoys this event,” she said.

The project involves all members of the leadership class and focuses on team building, project management, and leadership skills. The proposals will be reviewed by the LCC Executive Board of Directors and then distributed to the Class of 2021-2022. The new leadership class has been selected, attended Orientation, and will participate in their first class session on Beaver Island, an overnight retreat on September 12th and 13th.
