2018 Goodwill Celebrity Golf Outing Tees Off in Glorious Fashion!

The morning of Thursday, June 7th marked the official occasion of the 2018 Goodwill Celebrity Golf Outing which got off a glorious start. With absolutely beautiful weather, temperatures in the low 70s’ and a host of friends, sponsors, players, volunteers and celebrities all excited for this year’s big event, the 2108 outing couldn’t have gotten off to a better beginning. Held at the beautiful Glenview Golf Club with co-chairs Joe Walter and Stephanie Mitchell, the morning welcomed hundreds of eager participants. The Celebrity Golf Outing is the single fund-raising special event which the organization hosts each year and Goodwill is very grateful for the long-time support of its partners and friends.

Celebrity Chairman Joe Walter and Co-Chair Stephanie Mitchell got everyone in the mood for the event by sharing that 2018 is not only the 18th year of the Goodwill Golf Outing but also, Stephanie’s 18th year of working in the community. “I  want to congratulate Stephanie on 18 years of employment success,” said Joe Walter in his opening remarks. “And that really is what this outing is all about… supporting Goodwill’s 100+ year mission of putting people to work!” Stephanie joined Joe in welcoming everyone to the outing and said “Thank you for coming. I’m so happy to be here.”
