It’s 5:30 a.m. on tournament day when Stout Street Foundation organizers arrive at the golf course. Rainy and dark and cold…oh, my! Would golfers show? You betcha. The sellout crowd at this year’s 9th annual Stout Street Foundation Benefit Golf Tournament stayed true to the tradition of this event, ready for anything—and all in for fun and friendly competition. Everyone was rewarded when the sun finally showed during lunch, causing guests to toss their jackets and throw on sunglasses as they grabbed some chow.

On Friday, May, 22, around 175 SSF friends and supporters kicked off the Memorial Day weekend at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club. After golf, they headed for the covered pavilion to meet up for grilled burgers and chicken, bid on the array of enticements at the silent auction, and win raffle prizes and golf awards. SSF’s president and CEO Christopher Conway talked about specific plans for the organization’s $50,000 fundraising goal, including facility improvements and continuing education for staff. Longtime supporter and radio guru Joe Bevilacqua auctioned off three sets of concert tickets, and golfers were rewarded for their tournament play with great prizes.
