Over 100 participants enjoyed a morning on the course for the 27thth annual Strokes of KINDness, on Thursday, June 19th, 2014. A windy but beautiful summer day at Bear Dance Golf Course in Larkspur was the perfect setting for the annual charity tournament which helps raise funds for the organization.
Golfers enjoyed a quick breakfast before the 8:00 shotgun start. Many of the holes featured prizes, included men’s and women’s longest drive, longest putt and closest to the hole. There was also a hole in one challenge which featured a $40,000 prize to be split between KIND and the winner. A putting contest rounded out the day with a cash prize awarded to the winner.
The event concluded with a barbecue lunch, silent auction, and awards ceremony in the clubhouse.
The tournament is one of two major fund-raising events for KIND annually, in addition to a gala held in the fall. KIND is the oldest dental charity in the United States and the recognized leader in promoting the oral health of Colorado’s children. KIND provides high quality, comprehensive dental care and education to kids in need.
