The First Annual Powerhouse Putt

September 20, 2014 was a picture perfect day for our First Annual Powerhouse Putt.  Seventy smiling children descended onto the course at Freddy’s Family Fun Center, Lansdale, PA.  Each group had their own caddy.  They laughed and golfed and raised over $3400 for a wonderful cause.  We are in awe of how this caring group of individuals shares their time, talents, and treasure with others in need.

Peter thought the Putt was awesome and enjoyed watching as Julia Vizza and Owen Krauss, both of Harleysville, PA took the lead and became the first girl and boy to win The Powerhouse Putt.  They each received a set golf clubs for their efforts.  The children enjoyed Hatfield Hot Dogs and Utz potato chips.  TD Bank of Harleysville provided backpacks, tees and golf balls.  Chick Fil A of Lansdale, Rita’s water ice of Harleysville, Just Born of Bethlehem, P.F. Changs of Collegeville, DQ of Harleysville, Harleysville Books, and Peter’s Grammy all provided treats to fill the backpacks.  Additionally, Wegman's of Collegeville made sure that each of our Putters were well fed.

We are grateful for and would like to thank our hole sponsors; hill co of Worcester, Asher’s Chocolates, Freed’s Produce of Harleysville, Alderfer Auction & Appraisal, Budget Store & Lock of Whitehall, Trent Landis Masonry of East Greenville, Lawall Prosthetics & Orthotics, Williams & Co. Jewelers, North Penn Surgical Associates, Indian Valley Mechanical, Vernfield Elementary School Faculty and Staff, CHOP Care Network Highpoint, Anthony & Sylvan Pools, Chiaro’s Pizzeria of Green Lane, TD Bank, Sam Kadan DMD of Harleysville Orthodontics, Clemens Food Group, and Signarama, King of Prussia.  Larry at Signarama generously donated all of the signs, which allowed us to purchase one wagon for every hole sponsored.

We’re excited to share the news that Matt, Vernon and Frank at Freddy’s Family Fun Center have invited us back!  There will be two Powerhouse Putts next year!  Join us on September 19, 2015.  Junior Putters, grades 1-5, will golf from 10:00-12:30 and Senior Putters, grades 6-8, will golf from 6:00-8:30pm.
