Sunny skies greeted the first annual Bowling Green Community Foundation Golf Outing at Stone Ridge Golf Club in 1999. In cooperation with Sky Financial, First Federal-MidAm BanK, and Cavalear Corporation, the Foundation hosted a children's golf clinic and a golf competition, including a hole-in-one contest. Prizes were given away and a steak dinner capped a fun-filled day. At the event, the Foundation presented the first of its Dorothy and Ashel Bryan Philanthropic Awards to the Bryans. Sponsors and players contributed nearly $30,000 to the Foundation's endowment.

By 2007, the annual Golf Outings benefitting Bowling Green Community Foundation had raised nearly $200,000 for the Foundation. Our sincere and well-deserved thanks go to Sky (now Huntington) Bank and all other sponsors, volunteers and participants over these past years.
