The Keifer family successfully defended their Putt
FORE Kids! Championship with a round of 175. The Keifers have won all three United Way Putt FORE Kids! Championships.
|
United Way’s 3rd Annual Putt FORE Kids! Mini-Golf Challenge, presented by Scotts Miracle-Gro
continues to be a fun, family event. Golfers and sponsors helped United Way raise more than $2,600 at the 2009
event, held April 30 at SportsOhio. The money will be used to replenish United Way’s Youth Arts & Recreation
Grant Fund, which pays participation fees for area children to be involved in positive, structured youth activities
when their families are unable to afford them.
The Keifer family (Eric, Darla, Juli, and Don – along with baby Ethan) has captured the 1st-place
team trophy every year. They continued their collective dominance on the putting greens with a score of 175, 16
strokes better than the nearest competitors.
