Golf Tournament 2009

  5th Annual

Wildlife Rehab and Education

Benefit Golf Tournament

 The WR&E annual golf tournament is the single largest fundraiser hosted by WR&E. Proceeds from this tournament help provide food and medications necessary to care for the thousands of injured and/or orphaned wildlife which will enter our doors throughout 2009. During 2008 we cared for almost 7000 injured and orphaned native Texas wildlife.

We extend our deep appreciation for all who participated! Thanks to Sprint Logistics LP and Seabreeze Environmental Landfill for providing drinks to keep participants from getting thirsty and Mario’s Flying Pizza for the wonderful lasagna and spaghetti luncheon. Our sponsors helped to provide golfers with snacks, tees, balls, golf shirts and everyone received a door prize.

For the second year in a row, street-wise crows stole “goodie bags” from golf carts. These “goodie bags” contained candy, crackers, golf balls and worse yet – door prize tickets. It was rather humorous to watch grown men attempting to catch a crow flying away with his goodies.

WR&E Educational Ambassadors, Screech Owl and Red-tailed Hawk took center stage during check-in and trophy presentation. An educational conservation message was presented to all at the luncheon.

WR&E would also like to add a very special thank you to EJ Rogers. EJ has been solely responsible for organizing this golf tournament since its inception five years ago. Despite health challenges of her own, EJ not only rose to the challenge, but planned an event that far surpassed her previous fundraisers. Through her countless hours of dedication, EJ defines the committed spirit of a volunteer’s gift of love – TIME. EJ, thank you for all you do! None of this would be possible, year after year, without the unwavering support and commitment from the WR&E volunteers. THANK YOU!!
