Tag: WGW golf tournament

A different kind of rainbow was on display following one of the fundraising events that was part of the annual William G. Weissgerber Benefit Golf Tournament, held Friday and Saturday in McHenry and in Oakland. This photo was taken at the conclusion of the 5-K Color Run, during which participants were coated with colored dye. With the rainbow known as a symbol of hope, the 5-K run specifically raised funds for Samantha for the Arts, a program founded in memory of Samantha Gibson that provides additional arts funding in the local school system. The WGW tournament, and various other companion fundraising activities, supports not only Samantha for the Arts, but also Landon’s Library and the Andrew Woods Memorial Scholarship program. According to tournament organizers, the overall effort once again yielded proceeds of approximately $100,000, but the final tally had not yet been tabulated by presstime today. The winning golf tournament team and other tournament results can be found in today’s sports pages.
