ASPE had a solid showing (for the second year in a row) as a sponsor of the 7th Annual Tees for Tots Golf Tournament Monday. Sponsored by Learning Together, the event raises money to help meet the educational, developmental and health needs for young children of all abilities. Brier Creek Country Club in Morrisville, NC was the site of this year’s tournament.

Shooting one under par before the added handicap, the ASPE team, comprised of Carin “Straight Shooter” Mills, Melanie “Whippersnapper” Cleary, JT “Silent Striker” Moore, and Taylor “The Ringer” Dellostretto, brought the “A-game” for ASPE. Each team member contributed their specialty skills, from putting to short game perfection to quality approach shots [to comic relief from our mascot Tim Tom the Turtle], but it was Dellostretto who stunned everyone with the highlight of the day. With what seemed like a miraculous tee shot, Dellostretto’s ball landed just 12 inches from the pin on a par three, earning him the win for the tournament’s Closest to the Pin contest. He was nice enough to donate his wine tasting prize to the office so we can all bask in the glory. Mills was also a contender for the Straightest Drive contest.

While ASPE didn’t win the Tees for Tots trophy, we are proud to support organizations such as Learning Together. Its vision, to “create a Community of Promise – where all children of all abilities are able to reach their full potential with the support of community and families,” is a cause near and dear to our hearts. We thank everyone who participated, and look forward to next year.
