2016 GATHERING GOLF CLASSIC
This year’s golf classic – The Gathering’s annual fundraising event – scheduled for Friday, June 10 was blessed with sunny, hot, windy weather. Seventy-six golfers gathered during a nearly cloudless afternoon at Evergreen Golf Club in Elkhorn, Wisconsin to vie to be named Gathering champs for a year, along with chances to win prizes on the course, and a hole-in-one car. A wine ring toss and raffle accompanied the event which netted nearly $13,000 to continue The Gathering’s mission to feed Milwaukee’s hungry and homeless.
Please check out our Event Sponsors and Raffle Donors below as well as Prize Winners and numerous photos.
Next year’s event is tentatively scheduled for Friday, June 9, 2017.
