Bridge Center Golf Classic aces fundraising efforts
BRIDGEWATER, MASS.
at the Olde Scotland Links in Bridgewater, Mass. and the Lakeville Country Club in Lakeville, Mass. This year’s classic, which included a dinner, silent auction and traditional auction, raised $158,000 for the Bridgewater, Mass.-based center.
“We had a tremendous turnout for this year’s event with more than 175 golfers participating,” said Jenn Harber, executive director for The Bridge Center. “And with the contributions of our sponsors and others who donated items to the auctions, you’d have call this year’s Classic a smash success!”
Channel 5 anchor Susan Wornick conducted a live auction following dinner with prizes that included the opportunity to see the New England Patriots in Miami FL and a 13- day trip to Costa Rica.
In addition to funds raised from the golf tournament, dinners and auctions, a number of local businesses sponsored the Golf Classic. Among those were: Equity Industrial Partners, New England Development, Regency Transportation, CWC Builders, Inc., U.S. Pavement Services, Inc., T.L. Edwards, Inc., R.J. O’Connell & Associates, Inc., J.W. White, Murtha Enterprises, Triumph Leasing and The Dunkin Donuts Franchise Owners
One hundred percent of proceeds of the Golf Classic are allocated to The Bridge Center’s programs and services.
“The Bridge Center is central to the live of so many children and families, mostly due to the programs we offer, such as specialized summer camps, Bridges to Independence for teens and young adults, and Hippotherapy that provides occupational and physical therapy services,” said Harber. “And it is the generosity and loyalty of our supporters in the community that make it all possible. For nearly 50 years, there’s been unbelievable support for the work we do here. The Golf Classic is an annual reminder of how strong that base truly is.”
For more information on The Bridge Center, including the 2010 program schedule, please visit http://www.TheBridgeCtr.org. The Bridge Center strives to achieve a “no child is turned away” policy. Financial assistance and assistance with transportation are available.

Golf Wang $22.76 The Los Angeles collective of hip hop skater kids known as Odd Future–or in full, Odd Future Golf Wang Kill Them All–has galvanized hip hop superstars, sneaker freaks, hipsters and cognoscenti alike with its dark, playfully aggressive sound. The Odd Future look, at once sinister and surreal (ski masks, garden gnomes as onstage props), has also helped to propel the group to stardom over the past year and define it as the face of a larger American youth movement of black skate hip hop culture. The Odd Future crew is made up of ten kids, most of whom met in high school or hanging out at L.A.’s Supreme store. Tyler the Creator is the oldest, the ringleader and producer; the other main members include Domo Genesis, Left Brain, Mike G., Hodgy Beats, DJ Syd tha kid, photographer Brick Stowell and the often absent Earl Sweatshirt. Odd Future’s stellar ascent has been driven in part by its strong internet identity, and the group’s blog, full of photos, free mixtapes, homemade videos and strange collage mixtape designs, is an integral component of its creativity. Created entirely by Odd Future members, "Golf Wang" expresses this unique aesthetic. It features their photography, designs and writings, in a scrapbook of raw, immediate fun that offers a glimpse into the crossover worlds of skating and hip hop, and the compelling style of one of hip hop’s most electrifying and controversial acts. |

We Care about Golf $33.88 The author combines his care and concern for street children and his fondness for the game of golf, to bring out yet another in his series of "We Care" stories. Based loosely on real life characters and situations, his books have given us an insight into the plight of kids with nowhere to live, but on the streets; and no one to turn to, except each other. His published work, The Saga of Alex and His Friends showed us what could happen to these street kids when there is no one around that cares. However, it also opened our eyes to the possibilities, when there are people who do care, and are willing to do something about it. "We Care" came about when these caring people got together and pooled their resources to provide shelter and care for homeless kids. In this novel, which is a sequel to The Saga of Alex and His Friends, Mr. Warner brings in a number of real life characters who become involved in the "We Care" program. This is where the game of golf gets worked into the story when a talented young pianist, who is also a championship golfer, becomes involved with the "We Care" home, and school for former homeless boys. Readers will find a wealth of interesting information about golf, as well as an engrossing story in We Care About Golf. Cliffhangers, tears, and heart-warming moments abound in Tom Warner’s second published novel; We Care About Golf. |
