Global Hope recently held its 8th Annual Golf Tournament at the Omni Interlocken Golf Club on Saturday, August 22. The tournament attracted 100 golfers and 30+ volunteers on a beautiful summer day. The course offered the golfers a true test of Colorado golf while the air show from the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport allowed the golfers to take their minds off of the game to witness some incredible air acrobatics.
This year Global Hope was joined by major sponsors St. Anthony North Health Foundation, Level 3, Ball Corporation and the Omni Interlocken Resort. The wonderful day of golf concluded with a live and silent auction of items donated by many supporters including the Denver Broncos, Denver Broncos Alumni Association, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rockies, University of Colorado Athletics, and several hotels and resorts from around the country. Mark Richt, head coach of the University of Georgia football team, signed a football for the auction. Mark grew up in Broomfield and was coached by Global Hope board member Don Bolich in baseball and football as a child. The UGA football sold for $500, being outdone only by a helmet autographed by John Elway, which sold for $700.
In all, the volunteers, sponsors, and supporters of Global Hope raised over $18,000 for children in Romania and Kenya. Global Hope would like to thank everyone who contributed their time and money to make this year's golf tournament a great success.
