Sponsor Needed
for Charity Golf Outing
Tuesday, September 29th
@ Stonebridge Country Club

We’re looking for a business or individual to sponsor the photography for the 1st Annual Michelle Strong Golf Outing, so 100% of the money raised can go toward helping Michelle Sheehan, her family, and glioblastoma research. Your sponsorship makes a difference and your business will be recognized on the photo folders given to the golfers. If you or someone you know may be interested in sponsoring this worthy cause, please contact me ASAP, as time is short.
