Buffalo Grove, Ill. (July 2004) -IPA hosted the 2nd annual golf scramble at The Golf Club of Illinois on July 24, 2004 and raised $10,000 in cash for the Save the Children charity, the leading independent organization that creates real and lasting change for the United States and around the world.
"This donation will help children not only survive, but thrive," said Charles MacCormack, president and CEO of Save the Children. "We appreciate IPAs commitment to making a positive difference in children's lives."
The donation will go toward Save the Children program in Uganda, which includes education and health for the country's most vulnerable children and their families.
"The future of Africa and their children are at risk due to the lack of education and inadequate access to medical care," said Charles Botchway, director of IPA. "Save the Children, U.S., is on the frontlines of this battle and we are proud to help."
In addition to the donation made to Save the Children, participating golfers had the opportunity to win donated prizes of gift certificates, golf accessories and hotel packages.
