ULI Atlanta Hosts Successful Golf Tournament

Oct. 31, 2008 - PRLog -- ULI Atlanta held their first annual golf tournament on Monday, Oct. 20, 2008 at the Atlanta Country Club. This year’s goal was to raise $30,000 to help support ULI Atlanta’s three focus areas of sustainability, work force housing and infrastructure. ULI Atlanta doubled their goal by raising $60,000. Twenty-six foursomes competed in the four person scramble and awards were given to the low gross and net winners.

“ULI Atlanta provides its members the opportunity to address community building and land use issues through our various education and outreach programs,” said Jeff DuFresne, Executive Director of ULI Atlanta. “The golf tournament is one way we support these programs, and it is through the generosity of our partners and members that we do so. We are extremely pleased with and grateful for the amazing turnout and support that we received with our inaugural tournament.”
