The 27th Annual Bob Rose Golf Scramble SOLD OUT and Was a Huge Success!

It was a hugely successful 27th Annual Bob Rose Golf Scramble on Friday, April 4th. We were once again blessed with perfect weather, bright sunshine, warm temperatures and cloudless blue skies. I always know that if we get great weather we will have a ‘perfect’ event because of our awesome golfers, donors, sponsors, volunteers, vendors and friends.

The Arc thanks everyone who was involved with the scramble for contributing to an event that was flawless. Big ‘shout outs’ go out to specific people and groups for their assistance, including:

• Bob Rose for hosting the event again and for always heeding The Arc’s call when asked to appear, to speak or to take photos with golfers
• Our premier sponsor Audacy/SKY Radio 97.3 FM for their unconditional love of The Arc and this event for 27 years
• Evan, Tyler and the able professionals at Hawkstone who help me put on this great fundraiser and who ensure that the course, the clubhouse and the services are nonpareil
• Laura and Matt at Renaissance Printing who produced their usual fabulous signage
• Adele Elchert who spoke after the event on just how important this event - and the people who support it - are to her and all of the clients at The Arc
• To our volunteers, The Arc says “Thanks!” The Bob Rose Golf Scramble is the best-run fundraiser in town because we have dedicated volunteers
• Carol Graham for taking photos on the 8th Hole of all of our golfers with Bob Rose
• Johnny Adams, Wade Splonskowski, Katherine Bedoya from UF, and The Arc's Gone4Ever Shredding Crew for assisting with set-up and take-down
• James Moore’s Julie Kniseley for assisting me with trouble-shooting on the things I screwed up
• We thank our speakers, Mark A. Swain, Cathy Costello, Bob Rose and Adele Elchert, for putting into words just how vital this event is to The Arc, her clients and her mission
• Thanks to David’s BBQ and Fresh Kitchen for catering, Tri-Eagle Sales for the beer, and PepsiCo for the soda to keep the golfers refreshed
• We thank Adele, John H., Chris L, Chris B., David R. and Bess T. from The Arc who greeted our golfers and escorted them to the various pre-event stations
