Channel X94: Generous Basin Business of the day (4/16)


Channel X94 has pledged to donate the proceeds from their annual golf tournament to the Baumgarten family. The Channel X94 annual golf tournament will be held this year on May 8th at Dinaland Golf course. 

So here's the deal: it is $50 to register for the golf tournament. To register call the Channel X94 office at 781-1100 or call Dinaland Golf Course at 781-1428. Because Dinaland lowered the fee (after learning about the effort to help the Baumgarten family), $7 from every registration will go in the Baumgarten fund. While the tournament is going on, there will also be an ongoing putting competition. The SINK the PINK competition will be going on throughout the day and every dollar raised will go in the Baumgarten fund.

SINK the PINK  
Everyone wins in this fundraising competition. You pay $10 and get 3 chances to make a putt on the putting range. Oh and by the way, the golf balls are pink. SOOO all you have to do is SINK the PINK to win. There will be prizes and yes, they are good. What if you are like me and it would take a miracle to make a putt from a foot away?? Well, you still win because every participant will receive a SINK the PINK t-shirt, a coupon for a free 6" sub from Subway and every cent you pay will be added to the Baumgarten fund!

Every year the Hall family and X94 crew, support and participate in cancer causes like Relay for Life. This year they had already made plans to incorporate a fundraiser into the golf tournament but had not decided exactly what cause to focus on. When Subway owner Scott Giles stopped by the X94 studio on Thursday, he shared what he had learned about the Baumgarten's story and his desire to help. Charlie and the crew were onboard immediately and knew they wanted the golf tournament's fundraiser to benefit this deserving family. 

Charlie and his family were literally the first people I met on my first visit to Vernal. I knew they were good people then but in the last three years I've seen them reach out, serve, love, and give back to this community over and over again. Charlie especially is a man with a big heart and I'm so grateful for his support now in joining all of us who love the Baumgarten family. Though I've just recently interacted with Scott Giles of Subway, he has amazed me with his sincere desire to help in a big way. They are planning for great fun, great food, and great prizes for everyone who participates in the golf tournament and events leading up to it.

So please make an opportunity to thank them for all they are doing to make this a success. Visit the X94 website and give them a call, text, or email and say THANKS!!!

Thank you Charlie and the X94 family for your generousity, all you are doing and all you will do to for this wonderful family.
