17th Annual Ouimet Golf Marathon Fundraising is Underway!

Marathoners attended a Kickoff Day at Putterham on Thursday June 25 enjoying a sunny day of golf and discussing new fundraising ideas. Marathoners came at their convenience throughout the afternoon to pick up fundraising materials and their info packet on the event. With 5 weeks to go before Marathon Day, these teams got a jump on their efforts and were able to meet their fellow marathoners and the Ouimet staff. All teams should have received a follow-up email on Friday complete with a 2009 Fundraising Video!

Forty teams have joined the effort this year and following this weekend, we will have weekly updates on this page.
