Golf Tournaments: Case in Point

Its first event, in 1998, pulled in proceeds in excess of $30,000.

Thanks to the assistance of the local Arby’s franchise, the support of the presenting sponsor, Quantrell Cadillac, and the addition of Joe Gomes, who came on as executive director of the organization in 1999, the tournament was taken to a new level, to the point where now it consistently nets at least $70,000. The funds raised from the tournament have enabled the organization to create an endowment that now is close to half a million dollars.
