One hundred golfers took to the green on Monday, September 8, to play in the Silicon Valley REALTORS® Charitable Foundation's 10th Annual Golf Tournament. The event, which was held at the Los Altos Golf & Country Club, was enjoyed by all. Many of the players said they had a lot of fun at the course, despite the heat.

A no-host cocktail reception was held after the tournament, followed by a buffet dinner, awards and live and silent auctions, attended by over 120 members. Past President Mark Burns served as the Master of Ceremonies, and Golf Committee Chair Jimmy Kang presented the tournament awards.

Cammie Brodie, 2008 president of the Silicon Valley REALTORS® Charitable Foundation, and Foundation Trustee Dennis Young thanked everyone for participating in the charitable event. She encouraged everyone to continue supporting the Foundation.

"I would really like to thank all of the members for their support," Brodie said.

Brodie invited everyone to donate $52 dollars a year, which amounts to just $1 per week, to the Foundation.

Proceeds from the golf tournament will go to the Silicon Valley REALTORS® Charitable Foundation, which makes grants available to numerous beneficiaries, including scholarships, family and youth programs, housing programs and various other community services in the different communities SILVAR serves.
