The Downriver Soroptimists hosted its third golf-outing fundraiser on June 7 at Wesburn Golf & Country Club, 5617 S. Huron River, in South Rockwood with 126 in attendance and 104 hitting the links.
The Soroptimists raised over $16,000, with the proceeds going to help fund the Soroptimist educational scholarship programs to Downriver women, as well as funds for the various service projects that help support women and girls in a variety of ways that include human trafficking awareness, education, healthcare, and domestic violence. Fallon Belisle, the golf outing chairperson, and a multitude of Soroptimist members made this year’s event more outstanding than last year.
Downriver Soroptimist is a volunteer group that offers service by way of fundraising and donations, public awareness/educational programs, and hands-on assistance; as well as presenting yearly monetary awards to individuals to help support and further their future. These women give their time and talents to local food pantries, Vista Maria, First Step, Sparrow Project, Stanford House, Alternatives for Girls, and to area women’s health institutions. They host annual charity fundraisers and programs such as the biennial “Battle for Freedom” avant garde runway hair and fashion charity gala, “Save the Girls” charity golf outing, and the “Dream It, Be It” program for adolescent girls.
The organization meets at 6:30 p.m. on the fi–rst Wednesday of the month at the Woodhaven Community Center. For more information, email siofdownriver@gmail.com or visit the group’s page on Facebook@SoroptimistInternationalOfDownriver.
