Third Annual Blind Babies Foundation Golf Tournament – Swing for Kids
The third annual BBF Golf Tournament opened this past August with a breakfast registration at the Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club. Mitch Juricich, of Hooked on Golf, was the master of ceremonies as golfers competed, took the Golf Digest Challenge, participated in raffles and received boxed lunches on the greens, courtesy of Jim and Amy Taylor. Volunteers from Delta Gamma Fraternity assisted throughout the day and into the evening’s festivities. The dinner program began with a wine tasting followed by a buffet dinner, raffle and both silent and live auctions. The Jemison family made a touching presentation on BBF services they received for their daughter. Our fine group of attendees bid on and won incredible auction items such as weekend get-away packages to San Francisco. Thank you to our gracious sponsors, donors, volunteers and participants for making this annual event such a swinging success.

Blind Babies Foundation is Looking for You! |
| Blind Babies Foundation is celebrating its 60th Anniversary in 2009 with numerous events throughout the year. We very much want to include all of our alumni and alumni parents in these events. It just doesn’t seem right to celebrate and not include the reasons for our existence – our families past and present – in the festivities. Also, we are really curious as to what has happened to our “babies” and their families during the past 60 years.We need to hear from you if you were a BBF client, family, relative, or know where any of our graduates and their families are presently located. Please contact Michael McFarland at:
BBF, 1814 Franklin St, 11th Floor, Oakland, CA 94612 |
