DALLAS The annual Sewell Golf Classic tournament experienced the largest turnout in its 14-year history Sept. 18, raising more than $120,000 for Buckner Children and Family Services.
More than 250 golfers and 50 volunteers attended the event. The golf tournament has been sponsored by the Sewell Family of Dealerships for the past three years.
“The consistent commitment that the Sewell Family of Dealerships has for the children and families of North Texas is invaluable,” said JoAnn Cole, executive director of Buckner Children and Family Services of North Texas. “For Sewell to sponsor the tournament three years in a row shows how much they care for Buckner children and the community.”
The annual tournament includes a silent auction and several contests, including “Closet to the Pin,” “Longest Drive,” “Straightest Drive” and “Pay it Forward.”
Buckner Children and Family Services is a multi-service agency dedicated to the restoration and healing of children and the family. Buckner has served children and families in the Dallas community for more than 127 years.
