1st Annual "Dinars 4 Diabetes" Charity Golf Tournament.

Phil's golf tournament for Team Diabetes was a GREAT SUCCESS this Saturday. With the help of his buddy Kelly and the wonderful people at the Kuwait International Golf & Country Club, he put together a fantastic day on the course! The weather was perfect - with a nice breeze and slightly overcast sky - and it was as though the grass turned a special shade of "bright green" just for the occasion!

The tournament attracted 54 individuals and every participant seemed to have an enjoyable day of golf. They were happy to go home with a prize (yes, Phil arranged so that every golfer would receive one!) and a delicious lunch awaited those who completed their 9 holes. Phil gave a short speech at the end of the day to thank everyone who helped make the tournament a success and he was sure to mention our motivation behind Team Diabetes (ah-hem, our sister TAYLOR!). Next year, he hopes to organize an even "better" (<---- his words, NOT mine!) tournament for diabetes education and research. With the overwhelming response from year one, I am sure year two will be a blast!!!

Our fundraising total for the event is (drum-roll please): $2511.25!!!!!!!

Thank you to all those who were involved in this very successful event!
