The SaddleBrooke Ranch Women’s Golf Association (SBRWGA) raised $9,260 for Impact of Southern Arizona! This was our inaugural year for this event. We had 108 players register with 27 teams. We invited all golfers at the Ranch to join the fund. Our community and beyond were so generous in their donations! Thanks to our charity event committee: Jean Cheszek, Jen Valverde, Barb Simms, Jackie Elphic, and Diane Taylor. These ladies did a great job with the tournament, luncheon, and raffle.
