Celebrity presentation of a commemorative jacket
to Peter Gzowski, founder of the Golf Tournaments for
Literacy. Mr. Gzowski was scheduled to appear at the McNally
Robinson Bookstore to read excerpts of his latest book in
December, so we capitalized on this opportunity to have the former
PGI Chair Kerry Knudsen present him with a token of our
appreciation for his outstanding contribution to literacy
development. The PGI golf tournaments have raised over $4 million
nationally since their inception, through over 100 golf
tournaments. |
