It's Sad When It's Over
Part three on tournament day! As I said in my previous two posts a lot of planning and a lot of help attributed to the success of this event.

Those other team photos I can hopefully get
I am so sad to report that I do not have a team photo for Team Kimball or Team Rough Around the Edges. Please if you have one- please email it to mccarthybrothersbond@gmail.com again with my note to self- photographer next year! If you are a photographer reading this- be in touch if you could help us out next year!
I think it is safe to say that everyone had a fun day- but like most golfers it all comes down to the score- so here is how the teams landed

Thank you to the generous folks that donated items and to the very generous ticket buyers!
We hope you all enjoy your winnings.
We held a 50/50 drawing as well and the winner returned their winnings to the foundation.
We again congratulate our winning team Gagne Wealth Management Team Grip it and Rip it led by their Team Captain Samantha Smith. We thank Adam Hargraves for the lovely article and photos that were online and in the print edition of the Recorder
Sammy and Colin were in school together way back to elementary school- it was great to see them reunited.
It really was a fabulous day- Mike and I were overwhelmed by all of you, the day generated more money for the foundation than we could have imagined. We are excited to find the right families that we can help. Our goal is to help the Shane's to the Colin's. Shane missed out on a lot of opportunities growing up because we did not have the resources or sometimes the time available to get him involved in extra activities. Having a sibling that is medically complex or with special needs puts a strain on the family. We want to be able to help the kids that feel like they are living in the shadows so that they can shine their light brightly in this world just like Shane did.
If you know a family like this in our area- please send us an email. Use the contact us tab from the home page of the website to share the information.
At the risk of saying thank you way to many times- I will just say despite our circumstances and the reason that brought us all together- we still feel blessed. Doing good helps us and I hope it helps all of you also to know that you did good!
We are grateful, we are humbled, we are happy to have shared a Saturday with all these amazing folks and I do believe we will do it again.
Are you in?
We’re in!!! It was a beautiful day for a wonderful cause. Colin and Shane have the best parents 🤍 Truly inspiring. We love the McCarthy Family
