The Tekonsha Athletic Boost­ers held their largest fundraiser of the year with their annual golf outing. 

An overwhelming number of golfers, sponsors, volunteers, donors and community members turned out for the event, making it one of the largest outings in terms of proceeds in the event’s history.  

“Your generosity and dedica­tion continue to have a lasting impact on our student-athletes and athletic programs,” said Tekonsha athletic director Aryn Henry. 

The booster program made a special mention of the event sponsors and donors, especially The Foundation Golf Center and Arnie’s Towing & Recovery, who donated the raffle items. 

The winner of the 50/50 raf­fle, BJ Johnson, donated his win­nings back to the Tekonsha Ath­letic Boosters. 

“Your contributions helped create a memorable experience for all participants while provid­ing valuable resources that directly benefit Tekonsha Athlet­ics. We are incredibly grateful for your commitment to supporting local students and our community,” Henry added. 

The Tekonsha Athletic Boosters would like to recognize the volun­teers for the event, including Tim Jenkins, JoEllen O’Keefe, Sara Griffith, Michele Stuart, Brandie Aldrich, and Kelsie Russel, who dedicated their time and energy be­fore, during and after the event.
