Mark your calendars for Monday, September 14, 2015 to play in the 25th Annual Golf Outing for the Darke County United Way with the help of our grand sponsor of the day: Whirlpool Corporation & The KitchenAid® Experience. The golf committee at the Darke County United Way is excited to be holding the 26th annual golf outing that day with all proceeds going to the 27 non-profit programs of the United Way for the 2015 campaign. The campaign goal this year is $375,000. The committee of Andy Brown, Zach Newbauer, Dave Keiser, Mike Snyder, Steve Willman, Brian Griesdorn, Dave Connelly, Matt Jordan, and Christy Baker are finalizing plans for the event and are very anxious to fill the tournament. If you are interested in playing please contact the United Way at 937-547-1272 or email unitedway@darkecountyunitedway.org. Participation is limited and teams are filling quickly. The tournament tees off at 12:30 pm at Turtle Creek Golf Course.

United Way is honored to have Whirlpool and The KitchenAid® Experience as the lead sponsor for this outing. United Way is also very excited to have the following co-sponsors helping make this event a success from the start including Anderson Ethanol, LLC, BASF, Boots Breaden, Brethren Retirement Community, Bruns Realty, Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln, Doug Shields Investments, The Early Bird-Bluebag Media, Edison Community College, Edward Jones, Family Health, Fry & Company, CPA’s, Greenville Federal, Greenville National Bank, Hittle Buick GMC, Hot Rods & Harleys, Mercer Savings Bank, Midmark Corporation, MJS Plastics, Inc., Second National Bank, The Farmers State Bank, Village Green Health Campus, and Wayne HealthCare.

The golf outing is played as a handicap scramble. The outing includes a golfer gift, deli lunch, buffet style dinner, cart, and greens fees. This is a great event with fun competitions such as longest putt, longest drive, hole-in-one, and two holes with prizes to win, including a car from Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln and a hole with $10,000 from Farmers State Bank. This is definitely a worthwhile event as you can enjoy a day of golf and your proceeds can give hope to 40% of Darke County residents including youth, seniors, those in crisis, and those seeking self-sufficiency.

Golfers, please help us make this our biggest outing yet and celebrate 26 years with us. Thank you all for your support. We encourage both teams and individuals to sign-up. Now more than ever the United Way needs your partnership. Let’s LIVE UNITED Darke County as we try to reach our goal of $375,000 this fall.
