This signature photo from the Sixth Annual Roseanne Roseannadanna Golf Benefit says it all. We beat our goal of $150,000 and raised more than $180,000.
This astonishing success couldn't have happened without the support of our sponsors, live and silent auction donors, golfers, guests, celebrities, Noogieland kids, GCTC staff, 2013 Golf Committee Chair Laura Bloch, and
our amazing volunteers.
