In perfect weather conditions, the Ronny Massey/Relay For Life Memorial Golf Tournament is a big success in its first year.
CITRONELLE, AL, NOVEMBER 2010 – Nearly 100 golfers participated in the inaugural Ronny Massey/Relay For Life Memorial Golf Tournament held Saturday, November 13, 2010, at the Mill Creek Golf Course in Citronelle. The event raised over $13,000, with proceeds going to the Ronny Massey Scholarship Fund and American Cancer Society Relay For Life.
“We are extremely thankful to have such caring and giving support throughout the community”, said Walt Massey, co-founder of the event and owner of Walt Massey Automotive. “We look forward to the continued success of the event for years to come”.
Ronny Massey was a well respected and beloved high school football coach in the Citronelle area for decades. He lost his battle with cancer in August of this year and scholarship funds have been set up in his honor.
Begun in 1985, the American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.
This first year tournament was an overwhelming success, thanks to
many sponsors, participants and donors. Teams and companies from
many surrounding areas, together with individual and family donors,
helped make this effort a great event for everyone. Included in the
tournament activities were winning team and individual player prizes,
door prizes, silent auction, contests and more.
Plans for next year’s tournament have already begun.
Thank you again for everyone who helped bring this event together.
