“PUTTS FUR MUTTS” GOLF OUTING SCHEDULED FOR JULY 24TH
Proceeds will benefit Fur Angels Rescue
TOLEDO, Ohio, June 14, 2022 – On Sunday, July 24th, area golfers will hit the course at the Legacy Golf Club in Ottawa Lake, Michigan to spend the day enjoying one of their favorite hobbies and participating in a friendly competition. This morning, however, will have much more significance than a typical day on the greens because these golfers will be participating in the “Putts Fur Mutts” Golf Outing to benefit Fur Angels Rescue.
Event Co-Chair Jill Borkowski says “As a volunteer with Fur Angels Rescue, I see firsthand the impact that this non-profit organization has on animals in our community – like a cat named Gunner who was hit by a car and had a fractured leg and a broken pelvis, and a dog named Bella who needed help finding a home after her owner passed.”
Borkowski goes on to say that “Gunner and Bella and our adopted pets are the reason I am co-chairing this event. My husband and I wanted to honor our pets who have passed – our dogs Belle and Bailey and our cat Oreo – by doing something special to help homeless dogs and cats.”
The event – a shotgun start at 8 am – will include 18 holes of golf with cart, lunch from Outback Steakhouse Toledo, a dessert bar, a silent auction and more! Donuts, bagels and coffee and a mimosa/bloody mary/screwdriver cash bar will be available at registration. The cost is $100/golfer by July 1st ($110 thereafter); teams and individuals are welcome. Non-golfers can attend the silent auction and lunch for $25/person.
Some of the auction items will include:
- A Zamboni ride at a Toledo Walleye game
- The chance to watch batting practice on the field prior to a Boston Red Sox home game and a tour of Fenway Park
- A two-night stay with parking at the Kimpton Aertson Hotel in Nashville
- The chance to throw out the first pitch at a Toledo Mud Hens game
- Cincinnati Reds tickets
To register or inquire about hole sponsorships, please contact Co-Chair Jill Borkowski at 419-367-6828 or [email protected]. The registration form, a full list of auction items, and regular updates are available at www.facebook.com/puttsfurmutts.
The “Putts Fur Mutts” Golf Outing netted over $21,000 prior to a COVID hiatus. Generous supporters like Paws & Remember of Northwest Ohio and Mark Feldstein & Associates help underwrite the expenses associated with the event.
The net proceeds from the “Putts Fur Mutts” event will be donated to Fur Angels Rescue, an all-volunteer group who provides temporary and long-term shelter, warmth and safety, food, medical treatment and love in a network of foster homes until each dog or cat finds their forever home. The group’s volunteers are also active in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) to prevent new litters from being born outside and reduce the number of cats and kittens entering shelters and rescue groups. The non-profit organization – who has a goal of having a brick-and-mortar shelter – does not receive any state or federal funding and relies on support from individuals and businesses to help the community’s homeless animals.
