Pro-Am Charity Game On August 31, 2014, the Pro-Am charity game took place at Bridge Haven Club in St. Louis MO. This year’s event raised $7400, bringing the five-year-total of money raised to $28,161.
Money raised goes to Backstoppers, a local charity that provides assistance to the families of St. Louis area police officers, firefighters, and other emergency personnel who are killed in the line of duty.
Thanks to Chuck Starovasnik and Barbara Reid of Bridge Haven who devote innumerable hours to organizing this fun event.
Special thanks to these pros who donated their time and talent.
