Thank you to everyone who supported our Wiegand Farm Golf Classic, held on Monday, June 27th at Bowling Green Golf Club and Berkshire Valley Golf Course! 

262 golfers registered for this event and we sold out both courses. We raised over $15,000 on our silent auction and gave away a $10,000 MEGA 50/50 prize. We had nearly 250 sponsors and donors who helped us raise over $102,000 (net) on this event. Words cannot express our appreciation to everyone who supported our Golf Classic in any capacity.

We had over 50 Volunteers who came out to this event including Patrick, Anthony, Bill, Billy, Jackie, Kaleigh, Gina, John and Seby who live at or are served by DPD. They made our event extra special.  Where would be be without our volunteers!!??

We would also like to thank:

Gallagher and Co., Asco Power Technologies, and The Walsh Family Fund; Golden Golf Ball Sponsors,Saint Clare's Health System and ShopRite and our over two dozen Titanium Tee Sponsors.
