HOPE 100 Golf Marathon In Pleasanton Raises $84K

Hope Hospice: The Fifth Annual Hope 100 Golf Marathon, a charity golf tournament held on September 30 at Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton, raised $84,000 for patient care and community services.

Twenty-four dedicated golfers hit the Valley Course at dawn to play 100 holes in just shy of 10 hours. Each player committed to raising at least $2,500 by soliciting support of friends and family. At $4,320, Thad Buurkarl was this year’s top fundrasier. A special tribute was made in honor of the late Stephen G. Thompson, who played in the inaugural tournament. The closest-to-the-pin challenge at Hole 14, sponsored by Jerry Thompson & Sons Painting in Stephen’s memory, yielded $10,000 for Hope. Proceeds benefit Hope’s community education and grief support programs. Thank you to our sponsors and volunteers for making this important event successful! 2019 major sponsors: Jerry Thompson & Sons Painting, Graham-Hitch Mortuary, Colliers International, Bayside Interiors, Smith Currie & Hancock LLP, Premier Pharmaceutical Services, Waddell & Reed Financial Advisors, and A&M Printing.
