2026 "Make An IMPACT" Charity Golf Event
April 28th was a perfect day for the SBRWGA's 3rd annual golf charity event benefiting IMPACT of Southern Arizona. 132 Saddlebrooke Ranch golfers started the day on the golf course, then gathered in the Sol Ballroom for lunch, golf awards, silent auctions, and raffles. With the help of dozens of people who volunteered their time or donated raffle prizes, we made a huge impact - $26,000 raised for the charity.
We'd like to thank the following for donating to our raffles and door prizes: Golf Pro Scott Schultz from The Highlands @ Dove Mountain, Kathy Grudin, Lisa Leslie from Pampered Chef, Ed Cheszek, Lorraine Smith, Marianne Smyth, Golf Pro Jane Chanik from SaddleBrooke One, Diane Taylor, Mike Karpe from MountainView/Preserve Golf Club, Kathi Dyer, Patti West, Gilbert Moncada from Golf Tech, Oro Valley Country Club, Dr. Tim Harrigan, Debbie McGrady, The Merritt Method, Jen Valverde, Bianca Mcgiver from Blue Diamond Beauty Bar, Mary Drake, Tim Schaal, Corrine Zabinski, Colleen Carey, Brian Harvey from Weedbusters, Tyler Morgan from First Inspection Services, Mary Hoover, Trish Minard, Tom & Kay First, Janeen Kokodynski from Koko's Candles in Scottsdale, Mike Haney from the Arroyo Investment Group, Toni Graves, Carol Kennedy, Mindy Hawkins Alexa Lainson.

Chef Tina Luther - an elegant 4-course dinner party w/included wine pairings for party of 8
Golf Pro Chris Dompier - golf for 4 with cart at Skyline Country Club
