The inaugural golf tournament fundraiser for the Gerry Dilger Equine Scholarship Foundation was held Oct. 10 at Houston Oaks Golf Course and was a tremendous success.
On behalf of our board, and the Dilger Family, we would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone who helped to make this first fundraiser happen. It was great to see so many people come out. We had wonderful support from the equine community.
A very special thank you to Ashford Stud, Eddie Woods, Fasig Tipton, Garrett O'Rourke, Hagyards Equine Medical Institute, Hunter Valley Farm, Ingordo Bloodstock, Keeneland, Kildare Stud, Mark Taylor, Spendthrift Farm, Sterling Thompson, Stonereath, Winchester Feed, and WinStar Farm, who all generously supported us as title sponsors. Thanks to all our other supporters, including our hole sponsors, food and beverage sponsors, signage sponsor, prize sponsors, and all who gave a donation on-site. We would also like to express our gratitude to everyone who donated items for our live auction; Adrian Regan, Archie St, George, the Arvin Family, Aveen Campion, Barry Clohessy, Boyd Browning, Dr.Luke Fallon, Dr. Michael Hore, Dr. Mike Spirito, Eddie Woods, Gabriel Duignan, Jeff Pumphrey, Justin Fister, Ken Donworth, Noel Murphy, Peter Kiely, Zach Phillips. Thank you for your generous donations!
Our live auction was fun and lively. We would also like to thank all the people who purchased items for your generous contribution.
Finally, our organizing committee, Padraig Campion, Ted Campion, Pat Costello, Stuart Fitzgibbon, Dermot Joyce, and Adrian Regan worked tirelessly on planning this event. It would never have happened without all their help and commitment.
Pat Costello, president, commented, “Everyone came out and had fun. It was a beautiful day. We are so happy with the results of this first tournament, and excited about being able to offer even more opportunities to help young people learn about this industry.”
