Hello, We did not know if you GA golfers knew about this tournament coming up. Applebee’s has some sweet merchandise to be won: 2 kayaks, sleeping bags, 7.1px camera, etc. This is NOT a Pro event. 3 division’s ONLY. Advanced, amateur and mixed (male/female) Also the $50 qualifies for a tax deductible donation. Please spread the word around. Surely we can give them a full field in appreciation. Thank you.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® grants wishes to children with life threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. This very simple but unique mission is fulfilled through the generous support from some very caring individuals, companies and special events.
The relationship that has been established with Applebee's and associates has become one of our most successful corporate partnerships in Make-A-Wish history. Applebee's has raised over $335,000 that went to granting wishes for children throughout the state.
With Applebee's support and by working closely with a core of more than 300 dedicated volunteers, we granted over 135 wishes in 2006 alone.
Granting a child's wish is a powerful experience that can often be the defining moment in a child's recovery or positive change in prognosis. We never claim to cure children but doctors tell us repeatedly that the wish gives the child control of something important in their life when control of so much has been lost. We say, "it's a time when the power of positive thinking is at its finest moment."
We want you to know that without the support of Applebee's we simply could not grant these extraordinary wishes.
On behalf of all the children served by the Make-A-Wish Foundation of South Carolina, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We look forward to working with you in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Harrison
