Make-A-Wish "25th Silver Anniversary Golf Classic Dinner & Auction"
By Myra Richman
This year's 25th Silver Anniversary Golf Classic pre-tournament event was held November 20th at the fabulous Four Seasons Resort with the Golf Classic Dinner and Auction. The evening featured cocktails and dinner, as well as silent and live auctions. Monday's golf tournament at Grayhawk Golf Club began with a 10 am shotgun start. A scramble-format tournament, the Classic featured limited golfing spots with a pro or celebrity. The day also included contests and a beautiful day of golf and awards. Included in the festivites were Butch Baird, Alice Cooper, Pete Jordon, Dan Pohl, Joey Snyder III and Todd Stoudamire. Several Arizona companies are supporting the chapter's milestone as 25th anniversary sponsors, with each sponsor contributing $25,000 to the organization. They include: American LifeStar Ambulance & Medical Services, on behalf of the Phoenix Fire Department, Arizona Department of Public Safety, Arizona Public Service, Casino Arizona, Forever Living Products, Gila River Casino, Landry, Creedon & Associates, Phelps Dodge Corporation, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Tempe Decorator Center, Thunderbird Charities and U-Haul International, Inc. This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and its founding chapter, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona. The Arizona chapter is the only chapter that grants wishes to local Arizona children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. What began in 1980 as the wish of a little Phoenix boy with leukemia has grown to become the world's largest wish-granting organization, serving 72 chapters in the US and its territories.
