2007 Baltimore Cadillac Invitational
The Baltimore Cadillac Invitational was a tremendous success this year. Many thanks to our co-chairs, Greg Jacobson and Tom Gillespie, who led our outstanding committee to execute our best tournament ever. We would also like to acknowledge the generous participation of our honorary chair, MASN announcer Rick Dempsey, who shared the emcee duties for the pre-event party with WJZ-TV sports director Mark Viviano, as well as played a few rounds with a lucky foursome the next day at the tournament. We surpassed our goal of 32 foursomes and hosted many new corporate sponsors and foursome participants.
The list of sponsors includes: Presidio, CISCO, Lockheed Martin, Eagle Investment Systems LLC, The Bank of New York Mellon, Havana Club, Dockman Digital, Boston Financial Data Services, DST Systems, DST Output, The J.M. Smucker Company, Clark Construction, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Deloitte, Computershare, PFPC Inc., Harco Auto Park and Miles & Stockbridge.
Many new features added to the excitement of this year's event. Our pre-event party was once again hosted at Baltimore's Havana Club. We added a casino portion to the evening, in addition to the silent auction, and three winners were ecstatic about their prizes: a trip for two to Hawaii, a trip for four to a private home and golf in Pinehurst, NC, and dinner for eight at Mezze.
On the day of the tournament we hosted the much-anticipated helicopter ball drop, which was new for us. We sold 642 golf balls that were dropped from a helicopter hovering over the driving range. One lucky winner's ball dropped in the hole and won the prize of 25 percent of the sale of the golf balls, or $1,317.50. We applaud the generosity of our winner, Andy Bridge, who donated $1,000 back to us in honor of his longtime friend, Stuart Bowers.
The event raised more than $142,000. We are now planning the 2008 event, scheduled for Tuesday, September 9 at Bulle Rock. Please contact Kelly Meltzer, Director of Special Events, at 443-322-0378 if you would like to get involved with the planning committee or sponsor this year's tournament.
