The Wes Gavett Memorial Golf Tournament is not only a friendly game of golf to honor our friend and associate Wes Gavett, but also a fundraiser for SWANA Beaver Chapter’s Wes Gavett Memorial Fund. Money from this fund is directed towards charitable organizations focused on supporting children and families in need, with input from Wes’ family. The Chapter’s Board has selected The Small Steps Project as the first recipient of a donation. The Small Steps Project is a humanitarian organization and UK-registered charity supporting children and their families living on garbage dumps through the world, with 100% of public donations spent on shoes and emergency aid.
The Stone Creek Golf Club was Wes’ home course where he played hundreds of rounds of golf, was a long-time member of the Men’s Club, and had one of his two holes-in-one. The tournament will be held as a shotgun event with groups of golfers all teeing off at the same time on different holes. A buffet dinner and awards ceremony will follow. In addition to participation, there will also be various sponsorship opportunities.
We’ll announce further details as they solidify, but for the time being be sure to mark August 8th on your calendar!
