Thank You 2008 Celebrity Golf Participants!
On Monday, August 18, more than 30 A.C.E.S.
students from Minneapolis and St. Paul
participated in a putting contest and showed off
their sweet swings on the driving range as part
of the 2008 Greg Coleman Celebrity Golf
Tournament. The tournament featured 26
celebrities among the 140 participants, great
food, and fabulous auction items. Major sponsors
were Bolger, Deloitte Consulting and Yoplait Yogurt, and
more than 40 outstanding volunteers helped with
this amazing event.
