T
he Sugar Sands Charity Golf
Classic took place over the
Columbus Day weekend, kicking
off at Tommy Bahamas’ Café in
Grand Boulevard. The ‘Registration’ Party
was highlighted with tasty treats and a
preview of the silent auction items.
The golf tournament was held at the
Kelly Plantation Golf Course. Ashton
Crowe, Head Golf Pro and General
Manager is always a gracious and well
organized host for the tournament. The
awards dinner was hosted by Tuscany
Italian Bistro. Guglielmo Ianni, Owner and
Chef, offered up delicious tastings for the
attendees.
President and CEO, Ken Hair said
“The 9th Annual Sugar Sands Charity
Golf Classic was the best one yet! The
weather was perfect, the golfers had
a great time and most importantly
we raised about $40,000 to help feed,
clothe and care for our children living
at the CIC Neighborhood. A big thanks
goes to Tuscany Italian Bistro in Destin
and Tommy Bahama Tropical Cafe in
Grand Boulevard for their wonderful
support again this year. We always have
the tournament on Columbus Day, so
I encourage our players and wonderful
supporters to mark their calendars for
October 9, 2017!”
