Akron Rotary's 27th Chili Open Golf Classic

Posted by Amanda Warner on Feb 20, 2017
 
February 4, 2017 was quite a chilly day, but that didn’t stop over 500 attendees from joining together for the 27th annual Chili Open Golf Classic, presented by Wayne Homes.  The grounds of Hale Farm and Village in Bath, Ohio were transformed into five unique golf courses with 9 holes each that ranged from 65-125yards. Participants also had a chance to take a shot at the hole-in-one and closets-to-the-pin to win some great prizes! 
 
The day was a huge success and together we raised over $239,000 benefiting the Akron Rotary Camp for Children with Special Needs. Funds from the event will help more than 1,800 children to attend summer camp and year round respite programs which will help them build independence, social skills, and memories that last a lifetime.  Last year, Akron Rotary Camp provided over $180,000 in direct financial assistance to campers and families in need.
 
We are grateful to each and every one that contributed in some way.  Thank you to all Rotarians that supported the cause by purchasing raffle tickets, sponsorships, camperships, donated prizes or volunteered their time.  We appreciate the continued support.  Thank you also to our two co-chairs, Julie Brandle and Rick Rockich for steering this event as well as other committee members for all your efforts and support.
 
Mark your calendars to join us for Akron Rotary’s 28th annual Chili Open Golf Classic on February 3, 2018!
