• Wrap-Up: 2005 and 2006
 The first annual Perseus House Charity Golf Tournament grossed
over $20,000 in 2005, and of course we hoped to reach that
amount at the 2006 tournament. After generous donations prior
to the event from our sponsors, players, and community members
who purchased items such as raffle tickets and chances to
win a trip to their destination of choice, we were rapidly
approaching that mark. Once we finished our silent auction
and a truly fabulous live auction the day of the tournament,
we had well exceeded our goal.
 Our 2007 tournament planning seemed to have a slow start,
but once we began contacting our friends and local businesses,
we had twice as many hole sponsor as we had seen in the past,
and increased our corporate and major sponsors, as well. Our
profits for this third annual event exceeded our inital efforts
by leaps and bounds!
 Once more, thanks to our 2007 Title sponsor, Northwest Savings
Bank, as well as our 2006 Title Sponsor, Highmark Blue Cross/Blue
Shield, and our initial tournament sponsor, the StartSMART
Foundation. We would also like to thank the many other sponsors,
players and volunteers who helped ensure that these events
exceeded our expectations. And thanks again to the many thoughtful
donors and staff members who support Perseus House programs
on a daily basis.
