2012 Valor Golf Tourney Wrap Up

A multi-service color guard started the day presenting the American Flag.
Thank you to the 100-plus golfers who came out to Alvamar on Friday, May 11, to support the first-responders of Douglas County at the Chamber’s second annual Valor Golf Tournament, sponsored by Crown Automotive.

The Valor Golf Tournament presented by Crown Automotive helps to raise money to support the Valor Public Safety Awards, a program that recognizes police, fire and other emergency services workers. Funds raised support the Valor Public Safety Awards scholarships, providing a one-time educational stipend to children of honorees who meet eligibility criteria.

The team of Miles Schnaer, Pat Henderson, Dan McNeely and Wes Lynch came in first place, while Ray Urbanek, Mark Unruh, Lance Flachsbarth and Doug Woods placed second. Dante McGrew and Ginger Wehner each won a round of golf for four at Alvamar for the longest drive (in men’s and women’s categories respectively). Ron Miller won a Callaway golf accessories set for being closest-to the pin, and Douglas County Sheriff Ken McGovern received an iPad 2 for winning the putting contest.

The Valor Public Safety Awards and Scholarship Program is a community-wide program to recognize our first responders. The program was created by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with Harry Herington, CEO NIC Inc. The awards are given out at a ceremony in the fall.

Special thanks to Crown Automotive for its sponsorship and support of this event. Thanks also to: NIC Inc./Ride 4 Cops, O’Malley Beverage, 23rd Street Brewery, Black Hills Energy, The Kern Group Inc., KLWN, KU Credit Union, Lawrence Journal-World, Best Buy, Pioneer Ridge and Walmart.
