KC CREW Annual Golf Tournament and Sunset Buffet/Auction Raise Funds for
Chapter’s Charitable Partner, Women’s Employment Network (WEN)
By Sheri Gallagher, First National Bank of Olathe

KC CREW’s 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament and Sunset Buffet were held this year on September 24th at the prestigious Staley Farms Golf Club in Liberty, Missouri. The private status of the Club brought out many golfers who would not otherwise be able to play the course. The resulting 31 teams enjoyed the beautifully manicured fairways and challenging greens. The scare of rain did not deter attendees from showing up; the clouds dissipated and players were rewarded with gorgeous Kansas City fall weather.

The Sunset Buffet and Auction immediately followed the golf tournament’s conclusion in the Staley Farms beautiful clubhouse. Non-golfing KC CREW members and guests joined the golfers for a light dinner during which a Live Auction was held. Items included in the Live Auction were VIP “Power Lunch” packages. Bidders won a personal lunch with one of several leaders in our local community and real estate industry during which they will share their considerable knowledge in their chosen professions. Throughout the day Silent Auction items were on display for all to peruse and bid on. Proceeds from both Auctions were added to the funds raised by the tournament, which exceeded $10,000.

As in previous years, the proceeds generated from the two events will be donated to WEN for their use in helping Kansas City women and children in need.

Special thanks to these sponsors that helped make this event possible:
EAGLE SPONSORS – First American Title, Mark One Electric, Opus Northwest.
BIRDIE SPONSORS – Integra Realty Resources, Stewart Title of Kansas City.
