Stout Street Foundation’s 7th Annual Golf Tournament

A sell-out group of golfers and supporters came out for a charitygolf tournament benefitting Stout Street Foundation on Friday, May 24th, 2013. Thirty six groups enjoyed a beautiful morning of golf at the Green Valley Ranch Golf Course, east of Denver, with an 8:00am shotgun start in a scramble format. The event, in its seventh year, gives foundation board members, community members, and program graduates the opportunity to show their support for the organization in its efforts to help those in our community recovering from substance abuse.

Immeditately following the golf, an outdoor barbeque lunch was served in the pavillion overlooking the 18th green, and awards for men’s and women’s Longest Drive, Straightest Drive, Closest to the Pin and Hole in One were awarded. Participants then had the opportunity to bid on dozens of items available in the silent auction, including artwork, sports memorbilia and golf-related prizes.
