Participants enjoyed the Women's and Open golf tournaments

at Falcon Lakes Golf Course!

 

Last year TLC successfully blended our two golf tournaments along with Debbie Swinney's annual wine tasting event into one premier summer event!  On Saturday evening, July 21, guests gathered at the K.C. Gift Mart Atrium and enjoyed a delicious sampling of food and wine.

Special thanks to Debbie Swinney and her annual fund committee as well as our food vendors: Ari's Greek Restaurant, Austin's Bar & Grill, Camille's Sidewalk Café, Chick-Fil-A, Chocolate Expressions, Johnny's Tavern of Olathe and Red Robin of Olathe and to our drink vendors: PepsiAmericas and Top Cellars.

Jazz trio, Greg Richter and Friends, entertained throughout the evening as guests socialized and bid on silent auction items. Brad Porter , MetroSports, served as emcee and Gil Rumsey as auctioneer.

Special program remarks were made by TLC President and CEO, Bob Drummond ; Director of Resource Family Services, Teresa Johnston ; and TLC Spokesman and Chiefs Punter, Dustin Colquitt . The evening ended with a live auction anchored by five imaginative pieces of framed artwork created by foster children.

Tastes & Tees for TLC continued at the Falcon Lakes Golf Course on Monday, July 23. Twenty-eight women registered for the Women's Golf Clinic and Tournament in the morning. Pros Karen Davis (Eagles' Landing) and Liz Smart (Overland Park Golf Club) saved the day by providing an in-house clinic during the hour's rain delay. 136 golfers participated in the Open Tournament in the afternoon. Special thanks go to Brad Porter for again serving as emcee and to Carrabba's Italian Grill in Olathe for preparing and serving a delicious chicken marsala dinner.

Because of the generosity of our sponsors, guests, auction donors and volunteers, Tastes & Tees grossed $110,000 for the children at TLC!
