Contributors of Swing 4 Kids, 2012 Drive Event Success!

Thanks to the many contributors and participants in Partnership 4 Kids 2012 golf benefit, Swing 4 Kids, more than $50,000 was raised for the agency’s programs.

The scramble-style tournament took place at Field Club of Omaha on Monday, July 16^th with nearly 200 participants coming out to support the Partnership.  

Notable players included Husker football legends Johnny Rodgers and Tommie Frasier,  University of Nebraska, Lincoln division I head basketball coach, Derrin Hansen as well as  WOWT, Channel 6 news personalities, Dave Webber and Jim Siedlecki .

Swing 4 Kids golfers enjoyed a day of chipping and putting for a good cause, trying their luck at multiple hole contests, including the coveted hole-in-one contest for a brand-new 2012 Mini Cooper Coup from Markel Automotive Group.  Although the level of skill on the course was extremely high, no one was able to drive away with the grand-prize Coup.   

As part of the day’s festivities, Partnership 4 Kids students greeted golfers as they took the course and hosted a lemonade stand, at which they served thirsty  players  for free-will donations to help raise money  to purchase books and classroom supplies.
