The Markie Foundation 5th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

Another successful event raises $11,000 for children's hospice

SUNOL, CA, July 9, 2004--The Markie Foundation held its 5th Annual Charity Golf Tournament on July 9, 2004, at Sunol Valley Golf Club in Sunol, California. An all-time high of 160 golfers played in the tournament, which raised in total just over $11,000 for children's hospice programs in Northern California.

An additional $10,000 in donations for the year-to-date boosts the Foundation's total funds raised in 2004 to more than $21,000. With this amount, the The Foundation has raised approximately $130,000 since its inception in 1999, moving well beyond its goal of raising $100,000.

"People continue to step up and support The Markie Foundation with great enthusiasm and generosity. This, in turn, enables us to provide valuable resources to families in need," says Janis Wuelfing, co-founder. "Through our annual golf tournament and direct donations, we are able to keep the momentum going and continue to make a difference."

Golfers enjoyed the scramble competition, food and beverages, tee prizes, and a great golf experience. The winning team was led by Paul Ventimiglio. A dinner, raffle, and live auction, followed the tournament. In total, more than 180 people attended the post-golf festivities.

The Foundation is already planning the date and location for next year's tournament and will post that information soon.
