2008 Golf tournament Volunteers
The 7th Annual Bill Sugra
Memorial Golf Outing
Thank You!
Thank you for your participation in the Seventh Annual Bill Sugra Memorial Golf Outing. Even as each year has passed, we still find it so hard to believe our son is not with us anymore. Most people think it gets easier, but it doesn’t. Every holiday we miss him so much more, remembering all the memories and good times. We are so fortunate and blessed, though, to have family and friends to support us during these difficult times.
It does our hearts good to have you all here and helping to reach out and make a difference to others in their time of need. In the past seven years we have given $125,000 to many organizations and individuals. So we thank you for your continued support and love because it would not be possible without all of you.
On behalf of our family and our dear son, we would like to take this opportunity to express to all of you our gratitude for being part of this event. Without your participation, this outing would not be the success it is.
September 11th was such a senseless and devastating tragedy for all of us. Although difficult, it is important to focus our energy from our sorrow and helplessness on the positive. As a family we have chosen to give September 11th some meaning by doing something good for others and put our energy into the future.
We couldn’t do anything to help Bill during his time of need, but we can help others today in their time of need. Bill was the kind of person who in appearance was very quiet but constantly strived to improve himself and reached out to help others. As we joined together today, we become the power of one to reach out and help others in our son’s name. Only through this spirit will the outing continue to be a true success. Thank you for helping to continue his selfless spirit and making a difference in someone else’s life.
Hope you enjoyed your day and look forward to seeing all of you next year.
Mark your calendars our golf outing date for next year is: Friday, August 28, 2008 at Green Pond.
God bless,
Bill, El and Tracy Sugra
