Annual Charity Golf Tournament set for September 8

Benefiting North Texas area seniors

The 9th Annual TIAA Charity Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, September 8, at the Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club in Plano, a new location for the tournament. For golfers, this is a chance to visit with former associates and enjoy the beautiful surroundings at Ridgeview Ranch, while supporting The Senior Source, an organization dedicated to helping seniors.

For more than 45 years, The Senior Source has provided vital services to older adults and their families—protecting nursing home residents and other frail elderly; counseling adult children of aging parents; connecting older job seekers with employment opportunities; and placing older volunteers with local nonprofit groups, schools and individuals in need.

The tournament will begin with player registration and lunch at 11:00 a.m., followed by a practice at noon and a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. The tournament will be a four-person scramble format.

For Golfers: To sign up for the tournament, golfers can either download the entry form, or call Jessica Stewart in the TIAA office at 214-567-8444 to request a copy of the form. The completed form should be mailed no later than August 22.

For Non-Golfers: We need your help to reach our goal for The Senior Source – please download the contribution form, or call Jessica in the TIAA office at 214-567-8444 to request a copy of the form.

The TIAA has raised more than $150,000 for The Senior Source over the past several years, and our goal this year is $25,000. Information about their many programs can be found on website TheSeniorSource.org.

It shows real-life examples of how The Senior Source is making a difference in our community.

Courtney Miller, Co-Chair of the Tournament, in his letter to golfers commented, “Remember our main objective is to raise money for The Senior Source. Texas Instruments and Texans Credit Union underwrite the cost of the tournament so 100% of the proceeds benefit The Senior Source. Contributions are tax-deductible. The great side benefit of this day is the visiting that will take place and golfing as teams.” Golfers can put together their own foursome, or they can signup individually and Courtney will assign to teams based on handicaps.

Registration at the Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club begins on September 8 at 10:30 a.m.; lunch at 11:00 to 12:00 noon; practice 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.; Shotgun start at 12:30 p.m.
