To the editor:

The 5th Annual Gary Holmes "I Believe" Memorial Golf Tournament was unbelievable!

The weather was beautiful, everyone and everything was perfectly in place! Can you see the picture? Once again, I am amazed how it all falls magnificently into place. Yes, I am convinced that the Good Lord definitely keeps his hand on this. The 5th Annual Golf Tournament was utterly unbelievable!

This tournament is our sole fundraiser for the scholarships that we present to seniors for college. We are now able to increase that number to three scholarships next year. Because of your continued support over the years -- my dream has come true. We can make available something to seniors that was so very important to Gary, and we can remember him and his legacy as we do this!

Thank you to all of the sponsors, golfers, the ones that bought raffle tickets, and the countless family, friends, and co-workers from NYS that volunteered their time, effort, donations, and support in every way they could. This would not be possible without YOU!

I know that Gary is smiling down on all of us. He would be so humbled, and so proud of what we are doing. Education was a top priority to Gary, and he wanted everyone to reach their highest potential. Now, our goal is to continue to increase the number of scholarships that we can give.

Again, I want to thank each and every person that helped in any way! I am totally taken back with the loving and faithful dedication and support that you continue to give year after year. God bless each and every one of you!
