Onion Creek raffle donors put dent in homelessness

March 11, 2021
Austin, Texas

A generous supporter of hickory golf and the Onion Creek Hickory Classic has donated a new set of Louisville Golf Precision model hickory shaft irons (mid-iron through niblick, a $1050 retail value), to be raffled off, with all proceeds to be turned over to Mobile Loaves & Fishes, the OCHC official charity.  See WWW.ML&F.ORG  Repeat:  these are new, never used; they came right from Louisville Golf.

In addition, another donor sent a brand new Louisville Golf version of the Bobby Jones Calamity Jane putter (a $175 retail value). So, what we have is the eight-club set ($1,050) plus the Calamity Jane putter ($175) for a total retail value of $1,225.

THE END RESULT
Past auctions, raffles and other individual contributions associated with the Onion Creek Hickory Classic played a large role in ML&F’s recent purchase of a mobile home at Austin’s Community First Village. It now serves as the home of a formerly homeless couple. Community First Village has over 200 residents already and, when at full capacity, will house almost 600 persons, all living with a huge dose of dignity. Now, THAT’S an effective way to attack the homeless situation! I urge everyone to visit the MLF web site, www.MLF.org

 YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT HOMELESSNESS!  SUPPORT MOBILE LOAVES & FISHES’ MANY INITIATIVES BY SUPPORTING THIS RAFFLE.
