We held our Middle TN Big Rigs for Little Kids Golf Tournament yesterday and we are overjoyed with the turnout! We had a record number of teams participate and had the best time. We can’t thank our teams and sponsors enough for helping us raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Nashville and our Foundation Scholarship Fund! We would also like to give a big thank you to Troy Dickens with Rush Truck Center for all the work he did to make this year's event a success.
