A big day of golfing a few weeks ago resulted in big help for the regional nonprofit The First Tee of Greater Seattle, which shared the photo and report:

Two West Seattleites, Charlie Anderson and Stuart Martin, and their planning committee, raised more than $34,000 for The First Tee of Greater Seattle at the Chuck Diesel Invitational at West Seattle Golf Course on August 28. There were about 112 players who donated funds through player fees, sponsorship, a silent auction, and other fun ways.

The First Tee of Greater Seattle is a nonprofit that serves youth ages 5-18, by teaching them life skills and healthy habits through the game of golf. The First Tee of Greater Seattle serves more then 1,700 youth at 6 different courses and 85,000 youth in 185 schools in King County.

    I met Charlie when he came to present to The First Tee board meeting about a year ago.  I was really impressed with both the passion and the organization that he put into the Chuck Diesel Invitational.  And he brought great headcovers that I’ve used since!  But I was so impressed by his commitment to The First Tee that I was inspired to participate in this year’s CDI and I promise it won’t be my last!  We had a blast and was joined by a friend whose sons participate in The First Tee.  Thank you to Charlie and the incredible team of volunteers that make this happen – you rock!  See you next year!
