MORE THAN $63,000 RAISED AT SIXTH ANNUAL CHANGING LIVES THROUGH LITERACY GOLF TOURNAMENT

DALLAS (March 15, 2005) – The Sixth annual Changing Lives Through Literacy Golf Tournament was a huge success, raising more than $63,000 for Vickery Meadow Learning Center. The event, held on October 16, 2004 at the Dallas Athletic Club, was a great success, with 141 golfers hitting the links. Medical City Dallas, again, led the way as presenting sponsor. New Gold Sponsors included Presbyterian Hospital and Austin Industries. The hot, beautiful weather helped, but it was the great cause, the competition and the prizes that made for an enjoyable day.

The Urban Nissan team, captained by Stacy Urban, won the team event on the Gold Course, while the Capitol Grille team, captained by Greg Cavanagh won on the Blue Course. Stacy's team included Dan McGiboney, Jeff Mayhall and Monte Norvell. Greg's team was comprised of Jeff Mallett, Justin Fraley and Steve Hancock.

This year’s inaugural $1,000 Cash Chip and Putt Contest, sponsored by Dr. Ted Moore, was won by Brian Powell. Ted Kopinski finished second and Bill Bywaters came in third.

The post-tournament dinner on the lawn included a live Mariachi band and a grand silent auction.  The Mexican Fiesta Dinner was followed by a lively auction that included sports memorabilia, travel opportunities and participation opportunities. This year’s event will, again, be held at DAC on Monday, October 24, 2005.
