Thanks for help

The 16th annual Rally for the Cure golf tournament sponsored by the Highlands Ladies Golf Club was once again a great success.

We would like to thank the members of the community, the Bella Vista POA Golf Operations Office, our sponsors and the 244 women golfers who combined to make this a tremendous tournament. We raised more than $22,000 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation with 75 percent of that money benefiting our local Ozark Affiliate of the Komen for the Cure.

From the very first planning meeting, our committee members faced each challenge we encountered with enthusiasm, dedication and lots of humor. To each committee member we say thank you.

We’d like to give special recognition to the following sponsors of this year’s tournament: Highlands Church Hummers; Mattress King, Phil Ashley; Arvest Bank; Highlands Church UMW; Allstate Insurance, Ron Watson; Chastain Financial, Carla Chastain;

Linden’s Jewelers, Ashley Linden; Lisa Reeves, Attorney; Tom Morris III, Attorney; and Downstream Casino Resort

We’d also like to give special thanks to Andy Mar and the entire Golf Operations staff. Without all of your hard work there would be no Rally for the Cure.

Planning has begun for our 17th annual tournament to be played on June 10, 2014. We look forward to seeing all of the warriors in pink on the golf course again.
