SKIHI
Benefit
Golf Tournament 2008
In October of 2008, SKIHI hosted our most
successful golf tournament to date benefiting ROPARD in Detroit,
Michigan, The Child Study Center in Fort Worth and Cook Children's
Medical Center in Fort Worth. The continuous support from
customers, colleagues and friends of SKIHI is the key factor that
contagiously makes this golf tournament a tremendous success. The
driving force behind these tournaments is due to the inspiration of
Kelsi Skipper. Kelsi is the granddaughter of Owner and President
of SKIHI Enterprises, LTD, Richard Skipper. Kelsi was born
prematurely and diagnosed with ROP (detached retinas). Without the
dedication from Cook Children's, ROPARD, and The Child Study Center,
Kelsi would not be the bright and energetic young lady that she is
today. This golf tournament was organized six years ago in an
effort to help these hospitals and organizations continue their various
programs to benefit children like Kelsi.
Each year the tournament's organizers
hand deliver checks to each organization and see first hand
the benefits of its success. This year, the SKIHI Enterprises
Charitable Foundation has been formed as a means of continuing the
charitable donations to all of these worthy institutions.
SKIHI
is very thankful to all our generous sponsors, volunteers and businesses
who donated
both time and money for to these worthy causes. We look forward to
hosting this event in the future.
