Mini-9 charity pix

Mark sent me this note and photos from his mini disc golf tournament he held recently at Riverview. Glad it was a success!
Well, on an excellent sunny Sunday afternoon in middle October the crowd gathered early to watch their favorite players at Riverview, North Augusta. Needless to say there was an expectation of certain individuals that they were ready. The competition was in the air however it was so well mixed with beginners that the fun was electric.
I spent time encouraging folks to participate because we had advertised a "tournament" and they said they were just not that good. I went into delivering the simple explanation of odds to win great prizes ($3425) for a minimum entry fee ($5). I then told them about "Project Rescue of Amazon Youth," the orphanage in Brazil and that 100% of the proceeds were going to the little girls who have enough food for one year with a donation of $250.
It really turned out it was about answering the flier from Britni Thornton and Amy Cook to come out and play the best. With the support of Killer B Disc Golf I had enough score cards and the game being very honorable everyone easily identified Brendon and Amy Cook as winners. Our entire project brought in $15,000. A special thanks out to all that contributed and continue to do so.
