A Night Out: Fight for Children Golf Tournament
By
Gwendolyn Purdom
What: Fight for Children golf tournament.
Where: TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.
When: Monday, October 5. There were golf tournament and spa events all day followed by a cocktail reception and dinner.
Ticket prices: $1,000 for a day of golf, $500 for non-golfing events.
Attire: Polos, khakis, and visors galore.
Who: About 100 Washington businesspeople and philanthropists took a swing at the Inaugural Golf Challenge to benefit the Fight for Children organization—better known for its annual Fight Night fundraiser. The event, which raised more than $135,000 for education and health-care programs for local low-income youth, drew a handful of semi-boldface names including former Redskins Brig Owens and Brian Mitchell and actress Gloria Reuben. Musical performances by saxophonist Ski Johnson and the Grammy-nominated R&B singer and DC native Kenny Lattimore closed the night on a smooth note.
The scene: Avenel Farm’s rolling hills and lush greenery provided a picture-perfect setting—and beautiful weather didn’t hurt. While golfers trekked the course, other guests enjoyed an indoor day of spa treatments by Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas, golf clinics by TPC’s pros, and networking workshops. After a day on the course, golfers and non-golfers came together for low-key dinner, cocktails, entertainment, and awards, including longest drive and straightest drive—a title a grinning Gloria Reuben took home.
A silent auction included such items as a consultation in Saks Fifth Avenue’s designer-shoe salon, a Brian Mitchell-autographed Redskins helmet, and a table for ten at Fight Night 2009. Other prizes came from the day’s many sponsors including GEICO, the Rost Foundation, PNC Bank, and AskMissA.com. A male grooming lounge sponsored by Pray for Men Grooming Salon & Spa and H.I.M.-istry was tucked in the corner of the reception and doled out manicures, facials, and massages until 7:30.
Food: A buffet dinner of grilled chicken, tilapia, asparagus, and mashed potatoes was on the menu as well as desserts such as miniature éclairs and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

I have really noticed that credit improvement activity has to be conducted with tactics. If not, it’s possible you’ll find yourself damaging your positioning. In order to realize your aspirations in fixing your credit history you have to confirm that from this time you pay your entire monthly dues promptly prior to their appointed date. It is really significant on the grounds that by not necessarily accomplishing that area, all other activities that you will choose to use to improve your credit rating will not be powerful. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

I have seen that nowadays, more and more people are attracted to surveillance cameras and the issue of taking pictures. However, to be a photographer, you must first shell out so much time deciding the model of video camera to buy in addition to moving via store to store just so you could potentially buy the least expensive camera of the brand you have decided to decide on. But it does not end generally there. You also have to consider whether you should obtain a digital photographic camera extended warranty. Thx for the good ideas I accumulated from your blog.

You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as neatly as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
