Riverfest Donation Benefits Victory in the Valley
Wichita Festivals, Inc. made a $2,000 contribution to Victory in the Valley on behalf of the Bob Struble Memorial Golf Tournament held during Riverfest this year!
This was the fifth year for the tournament held in memory of Struble, long-time Riverfest volunteer and former WFI board chairman. "Bob was a great volunteer who bravely fought cancer for several years, so it's appropriate for us to make this contribution in his memory to an organization that helps cancer victims and survivors," explained Janet Wright, Wichita Festivals President/CEO.
Over 100 players participated in the tournament held May 10 at Willowbend Country Club. Funds raised came through hole contests held during the tournament and individual donations made by players.
"This is a fun tournament and everyone has a great time," noted Mark Moss, chairman of the tournament. "It just make it even better when we can make a donation of this size to an organization that really makes a difference in the lives of cancer patients."
