Olde Homestead Golf Club, Club members, visiting golfers, The Krysta Hankee Memorial Fund, and local businesses partnered in early September to offer 3 days of skill challenges to support families traveling to Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital for medical needs. Recently, many of the partners gathered on the deck of Olde Homestead to present a $6,300.00 check to Hospital representative Kate Booth.
Kevin Edwards, Olde Homestead’s Director of Golf, and Bill Hankee welcomed the golfers and offered them 4 Closest to the Pin skill challenge opportunities. The 4 winners each day had 2 prize options. They could select a $75.00 Olde Homestead gift card or a $100.00 donation to the hospital in their name. Twelve winners directed their prize to the hospital. This shows the very caring nature of our friends and neighbors.
