EYO Golf Tournament Thank You's:
The 8th Annual EYO Golf Tournament was held at Timbers at Troy on April 25th. In an overwhelming and somewhat surprising response, the event was sold out and 147 golfers “braved” the beautiful weather to take on the challenges offered by Timbers.
In a stroke (and I mean ONE stroke) of genius, Steve Grabowski carded his first career “ace” and netted EYO $5,000 with one swing! Thanks Steve! In addition to this windfall, EYO was lucky to have such great support from so many local businesses and families – the event, by all accounts, was a great success!
Thanks to all the sponsors who continue to provide time, money, and resources to support the mission of EYO: To offer great sports programs to the youth of Elkridge, Jessup, Ellicott City, Columbia, and other surrounding Howard, Baltimore, and Anne Arundel counties.
