What a
great day for the first annual Brian McCormick golf outing. We had about 10 foursomes, 50 attendees and
survived a near hurricane. Most
importantly, thanks to the generosity of those who attend (and many who could
not but contributed), we raised over $6,000!
This money will help keep Brian’s legacy alive through helping Xavier University
students – who are in deep financial distress – stay in school. So far, our generous friends have helped keep
72 students at Xavier.
All of the
McCormick’s are humbled. We thank
everyone for their unbelievable generosity, kind words about Brian and love. We know each and every person who came to the
event could have been somewhere else. We
know you gave time, treasure and talent in order to make this event a
reality. We also know many of you are
just barely better golfers than Brian!
All
kidding aside, we hope everyone who assisted understand how grateful we are to
each of you. You helped us remember –
and honor – Brian through laughter, beer and shared friendship. He would of loved it. In fact, I know he did. While we were leaving the golf course we saw
not one, but two rainbows near the course.
Both my mom and I thought that was Brian’s way of indicating how pleased
he was with the day.
Special
thanks to Adam, Mark, Ted, Brez and Chris for organizing everything. Thanks to Craig and Mike for coming from
Florida. Thanks to the Glendale guys
for attending. Thanks to BJ and the Dana's crew. Thanks to Shaker Run for not prosecuting and a special thanks to Glenn Spencer for putting together the
ultra- cool golfing apparel web site where you can buy name brand gear with Brian’s
“X” wrestling mask logo. Check it out if
you want some flava:
Thank you
all. May God bless each and every one of
you.
Slainte!
