Between now
and Sept. 29-Oct 2, however, there will be a lot going on, including last week
when there was LOTS of RSM Classic-related faces on the course for the Barclays at
Bethpage State Park (Black) in Farmingdale, NY. Davis was there, along with
fellow Team RSM member Zach
Johnson and a number of past winners of The RSM Classic (which Davis
hosts): Kevin Kisner (2015) Robert Streb (2014), Chris Kirk (2013), - and Ben
Crane 2011.
While many
of “our guys” were at the Barclays this past week, our minds are already starting to
focus on the 2016 RSM Classic (Nov. 14 – 20 at Sea Island Golf Club). And one of
our favorite parts of the tournament each year is raising funds for children
and families in need through the tournament’s Birdies Fore Love
(BFL) program.
Through BFL,
RSM offices commit to raising funds for local charitable organizations that
align with the missions of the RSM US Foundation and the Davis Love Foundation.
In 2015, the program more than doubled the prior year’s giving, raising almost
$1.3 million for 65 nonprofits across the nation in cities where RSM employees
live and work. The strong fundraising through BFL, coupled with proceeds from
the tournament, brought the 2015 total donation to more than $2 million, and
the program total (since the inception of The RSM Classic) to more than $4.8
million.
If you would
like to help at-risk youth in the areas of education, hunger, housing or
health, you can donate
to Birdies Fore Love online.
Check back
