want to play around    

 

Ever wanted to play a round of golf on a professional PGA course?  How about with a PGA Pro?  Well, here's your opportunity to play a round of golf inside the ropes of an official PGA Tour tournament alongside a PGA Tour professional. The Charley Hoffman Foundation is hosting the 2011 Charley Hoffman Foundation Las Vegas Pro-Am on Monday, September 26th at TPC Summerlin.  

  

100% of the tournament proceeds will benefit FIVE local charities, including the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation!

 

The tournament begins at noon with a short clinic on the driving range hosted by Charley, followed by a 1pm shotgun start.

GTSF rummage sale a hit!

 

A huge THANK YOU to the nearly two dozen vendors whom  participated in GTSF's 2nd Annual Rummage Sale on Saturday, April 23rd! The event was a huge success and everyone took home a fair amount of green!! Special thanks TOO to our wonderful hosting site, Sam's Club at Tropicana and Pecos, for lending us the space and allowing us to "take-over" the parking lot!

little helping hands

 

We would like to sincerely thank Casen and his mother, Lisa, for their generous support of GTSF and our programming! At Casen's recent birthday, they asked guests to consider bringing new shoes to the party rather than birthday gifts! They, then, donated the new shoes to the  Goodie Two Shoes Foundation. Way to put your best foot forward, Casen!

 shoemobile celebrity

 

The GTSF Shoemobile joined in the fun of the 2011 Touch-a-Truck event at the Orleans Arena, and there we spotted a local

 celebrity!  Azeem R., one of the children whom has benefitted from our programming and appears larger than life on our truck, stopped by to say "Hi" and pose next to his image! Thanks, Azeem!!
