Travinia Open Golf Tournament
October 18 -19, 2009

The 5th Annual Travinia Open was held October 18-19, 2009.  Organized by the Travinia Italian Kitchen staff, community volunteers, and the staff and Board of Directors of Palmetto Place, this two-day event kicked off with a pre-tournament dinner and silent auction featuring the Back 9 band on Sunday, October 18th at the Travinia Italian Kitchen (Sparkleberry Road Location) and culminated with the golf tournament on Monday, October 19th at the Wildewood Country Club.

Because of the commitment and dedication of all of those involved, over $45,000 was raised to help fund a variety of Palmetto Place's projects, including providing day-to-day care, clothing and personal care items, and access to a variety of recreational and social activities.

Palmetto Place is forever grateful to the willingness of the 32 teams and numerous volunteers involved in this event to give freely of their valuable time and money. It is because of this incredible gesture that the lives of many children will be improved.
