The Society of Notre Dame de Bon Secours hit off the tee to
help charity on Saturday morning. The Metro Detroit based group hosted their annual
golf outing at Fox Creek Golf Course. The course is a part of the City of Livonia Golf Division, among others.
About 50 people signed up to play, the donations will become a part of the society's funds, to be
used to support families in need all over the Metro Detroit area.
Carrie Ryckman, a member of the society, said when
the group hears of a local person or family in need they do their best to cover the cost of their financial woes.
The society kicked off their outing around 8 am with each group taking different holes. The good turnout had teams made up of about 5 people each.
The weather became a factor of the tournament, hitting nearly 90 degrees at 2 pm.
At the conclusion of the tournament, Team LaCroix took the overall win. The Society of Notre Dame de Bon Secours raised over $5,000 to aid those in financial need.
One thankful, anonymous recipient wrote in a letter, "I want to thank you for the money to pay our DTE bill."
