Bob's Discount Furniture and Gene Rosenberg Associates Sponsor Eighteenth Annual Charitable Golf Outing
Organizers hope to raise more than $300,000 for local charities.
Farmington, CT (PRWEB) August 9, 2005 -- Organizers of the 18th Annual Bob's
Discount Furniture Charitable Foundation and Gene Rosenberg Associates Golf
Outing hope to raise more than $300,000. The golf outing will be held today in
Farmington, CT at the Tunxis Country Club, followed by a dinner and raffle at
the Farmington Club. Bob's Charitable Foundation will distribute the proceeds in
support of local charities including: The American Cancer Society's Camp Rising
Sun, The Nutmeg Chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Family and Children's Aid,
and The Connecticut Children's Medical Center.
"Bob's Charitable
Foundation outing has been a great source of support to us over the years it has
enabled us to offer mentoring to many more children than ever expected," said
Laura Green of Nutmeg Big Brothers/Big Sisters. Bob's Charitable Foundation was
founded in 1986 to help children who have not been given a fair shot at
childhood.
Seventeen years ago, at the first outing, fifty people
attended dinner. At this year's outing, dinner will be served to more than 400
participants. "We are grateful to all our partners, friends and business
associates for helping us to make this event the best ever," said co-organizer
Gene Rosenberg.
"I want to personally thank all the participants in this
outing for providing a record amount of support to benefit needy children," said
Bob Kaufman, president of Bob's Discount Furniture. In addition to distributing
significant funds each year, the Foundation provides gift certificates to
various agencies for clients with children who need some extra help obtaining
bedding and furniture. Additional requests are supported daily to organizations
in the New England region looking for assistance with fundraisers, furnishings
and programs. Agencies seeking support may obtain information online at the
