December 13, 2016
The annual SHIVER FOR THE SHELTER Golf Tournament presented by Slimbo Events which was played on Saturday, December 10, 2016 at Farmstead Golf Links in Calabash, NC collected SEVEN TONS of pet food and cat litter for the shelter at the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach.
116 players braved the cold temperatures while participating in this unique event which requires 100 pounds of pet food and/or cat litter per participant and a $25 per person registration fee. While prizes are awarded, Patricia White-Wisniewski, tournament co-director stated, “The spirit of this event is intended to supplement the food and litter supply of the Society. The fellowship and camaraderie strongly outweighs the competitive nature of the tournament.”
Crowned as champions was the team of Stephen O’Neill, Dara O’Neill, Mike Ross and Sean Kort. Second place went to Sam Fresquez, Steve Beal, Chad Miller and David Neace. James Smothers, Will Wall, Chris Haywood and Jimmy Underwood finished third.
“We greatly appreciate the efforts of the SHIVER FOR THE SHELTER tournament committee, Slimbo Events, the volunteers, and of course the support of the sponsors and participants,” said Sandi Kendrick, Executive Director of the shelter at the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach. “Based on the number of animals that we currently house, seven tons of food and litter will give us a good six month supply and makes a tremendously positive impact.”
This event has now raised 108 tons of food and litter for the shelter. For more information, please contact Jeffrey Wisniewski at 843.450.2541 or [email protected]. (Pronunciation: WIS-NES-KEE)
