The 8th Annual Nicklas Foundation Charity Golf Tournament was held on September 23rd at Tangle Ridge Golf Course in Grand Prairie, Tx. We had a total of 33 teams, sponsors, volunteers and donors participating in this year’s event. Proceeds from the tournament will assist the foundation in housing transplant families and promoting organ donor awareness. The tournament generated enough funds that we were able to contribute $4,655 to the Hearts and Hoses Foundation and $4,655 to the Crisis Response Ministry. We wish to thank everyone that had a part in making this year’s event a huge success. Pictures from the event are below.
