The Pebble Creek Women’s Club Birdies & Bogeys for Becker Backpack Buddies guest day event and fundraiser held July 28 at Pebble Creek Golf Club was a tremendous success as $11,000 was raised to help local kids be fed.
“On behalf of the entire Pebble Creek Women’s Club, the sponsors, donors, participants and volunteers, I was pleased to present a check for $11,000 to the Becker Backpack Buddies”, said Event Chair Bettina Potter. “These funds will provide over half a year of meals for Becker area school aged children over the weekends and holidays during the coming school year.”
Potter was also grateful the PCWC had such a fine venue to hold their event in 2015.
