It was a beautiful day at Picacho Hills Country Club for the ninth annual golf tournament, hosted Oct. 7 at Picacho Hills Country Club by GFWC Progress Club of Las Cruces. 84 golfers on 21 teams registered to play and it was a successful day for all involved.
This is the major fundraiser for GFWC Progress Club and this year, 87 sponsors, along with the golfers, donated more than $40,000. After expenses, $34,727 will help nonprofits in the Las Cruces area.
The Progress Club focuses on charities such as La Piñon Sexual Assault Recovery Services, Honor Flight of Southern New Mexico, 4 Paws and a Wake Up, La Casa, Inc. domestic violence program, veterans, New Mexico State University, Doña Ama Community College and others.
The platinum title sponsor again this year was Cavill & Company. Gold sponsors were Metal Craft and Ashley Furniture. Silver sponsors were Farm Bureau Financial Services, Bank of the Southwest and Household Furniture. Dinner sponsors were American Linen, Prosper Real Estate, Dental Associates and Waterstone Mortgage. Cart sponsors were Darin Manes Farmers Insurance, Law Offices of Dana Kyle and David Hill Financial. NAI 1st Valley sponsored a golf team so veterans could play – and the veterans team won the tournament!
