This fundraiser is important to everyone at SPINX, and I want to personally thank all of our business partners who supported this year’s tournament plus the staff and volunteers that worked behind the scenes to make this another successful event,” said Stewart Spinks, founder and chairman of The SPINX Company and the Spinks Family Foundation. “Our tournament is not only a great day of golfing in beautiful Upstate South Carolina, but it’s an opportunity to give back to the communities by supporting organizations that align with our mission to grow healthy children where we live, work and play.”
This year’s tournament was held at Greenville Country Club – Chanticleer, Cliffs Keowee and Cliffs Valley courses. Proceeds from the tournament will be presented to the beneficiaries to enable them to meet the needs of many families and children through the valuable services they provide throughout our communities. To date, the SPINX golf tournament has raised a total of $1.3 million to help fund 25 charitable organizations.
