Penta Cares Second Annual Charity Golf Outing

By Carolina Tigman - Intern

Last year we developed a philanthropic division of our company called Penta Cares. The mission of Penta Cares is to partner with non-profit organizations to raise funds and awareness through events for worthy causes at no cost to the charity. Teaming up with the American Diabetes Association, we hosted The Penta Cares First Annual Charity Golf Outing and this year we are doing it again.

On October 6, 2008 we will host our Second Annual Charity Golf Outing with proceeds benefiting the American Diabetes Association in honor of Nicole Sciarrino. The event will take place at Lido Golf Club in Lido Beach, NY. The 11 am shotgun start will be followed by a cocktail hour, silent auction, 50/50 raffle, dinner, awards reception and entertainment. The success of the golf outing depends heavily on the support of companies and organizations throughout the New York area, as well as the professional golfers in attendance. Last year’s event raised over $40,000 and brought in over 200 attendees, donors, and corporate sponsors. This is a great opportunity for any company or individual to help support a worthy cause.

Nicole is an adorable 5 year-old from Manhasset, NY. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just a few weeks before her second birthday. Life with diabetes has not been easy for her, but her positive attitude keeps her going.

We are eagerly looking forward to this year's outing and are hoping to double the amount raised last year. We already have numerous supporters from the community and our hope for this year will surely be a success.
