2011 Junta42 Golf for Autism a Huge Success [video]
Lovin' the Orange
Picture this: on Sunday, August 14th, the Cleveland area saw the 5th most rainfall in one day EVER for one day. The next day, the 5th Annual Junta42 Golf for Autism would take place.
Needless to say, I was a bit concerned. The golf course where we were to have the event was extremely wet.
Tee time was 1pm ET and, according to our friends at Acacia Country Club, even one short spurt of rain would mean we would have to cancel the event. Rain showers were to every direction all morning and into the early afternoon.
It was a miracle. Even though the forecast called for rain throughout the day, not one drop fell on the course during the event. The 2011 Junta42 Golf for Autism (benefiting Easter Seals Northern Ohio) was a tremendous (and rain free) success.
By the Numbers
All proceeds from the event go to Easter Seals Northern Ohio, specifically earmarked for those children with autism who need speech therapy but simply can’t afford it through other means.
There are so many thanks to go around on this one, but really wanted to single out our primary sponsors GIE Media, Petco, Cleveland Steel Container and Interact Media.
Like last year, Joshua Pulizzi took the stage and did a little improvising for the dinner crowd at the event.
NOTE: The references to “three cookies” in the video is Joshua’s speech therapy training where he had to constantly work on his “th’s” versus his “f’s”…thus the three versus free.
There are so many people to thank, but here are a few who deserve special recognition.
Thanks to everyone who made this year another amazing success. I am simply overwhelmed by all the support this year, and the support we’ve had over the past five years. My sincere thanks.
