(July 30, 2008) The Graphic Arts Association's (GAA) 10th Annual George E. Hess Golf Outing to benefit the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House will be held on Monday, October 20, 2008 at the Spring Mill Country Club in Ivyland, PA beginning at 11:30 a.m. with a BBQ lunch, a shotgun start on the course at 1:30 p.m. and concluding with a buffet dinner, awards and prizes.   

The Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House was selected as the sole beneficiary of the proceeds to be raised during the outing.   The organization has a long history supporting families traveling to Philadelphia seeking medical care for a critically ill child.  The funds raised from the golf outing will make a powerful and direct impact in helping those in need.   We are proud to be able to support the new Ronald McDonald House at Front and Erie Avenue in Philadelphia.

    Registrations for those interested in participating in the golf outing will be accepted through October 15th.  Golf foursomes are now forming for only $575 and individuals can join us for $150.  You do not need to be a member of GAA to support or participate in the golf outing.  For more information on how to get involved, please contact Sandy Greenhalgh at GAA at 215-396-2300 or email [email protected].     

The following companies have provided GAA with sponsorship funds to make the 10th annual golf outing successful: Prisco, Envelope America, Central Lewmar, Paul Hertel,  Unisource, USI Colburn Insurance Services,  Digital Color Graphics and Lindenmeyr Munroe.
