The Ghost Tree Invitational is a favored local fund raising event that we are pleased to be participating in. This years event will be held at Pronghorn on August 15th and 16th. The golf tournament will be played on Friday, August 15th and on the evening of the 16th ticket holders will enjoy dining on the driving range with live music and a silent auction all under the stars in one of the areas most pristine landscapes.
Christine Limburg, GM for Combined Communications who runs the charity says it best. ” The Ghost Tree Invitational is entirely put on by volunteers with a passion for supporting the local community in a direct, meaningful way. The mission is to invest in organizations serving children and families in Central Oregon with a goal to raise funds and then donate those funds to local charities with the infrastructure in place to aid Central Oregonians in need.”
Last year $15,000 was donated to the Assistance League of Bend and $40,000 to the Bend Ronald McDonald House. This year the charity is raising money for these two great community support providers as well as the Bend- La Pine Education Foundation.
The Assistance League of Bend began with seven women in October of 1989 and has been providing philanthropic programs ever since including a number of programs for children in Bend. To read about the many activities of this local organization, visit The Assistance League of Bend . The Ronald McDonald House is now in more than 54 countries serving children and families in a number of ways. Learn more about the Ronald McDonald House of Bend here. Finally, The Bend La-Pine Education Foundation has been providing financial assistance to schools in need since 2003. Over $1,000,000 since that time has been provided to schools in Bend and La Pine to assist teachers in having the tools they need, to provide access to extra activities for all children in school and to foster scholarships and professional enrichment.
