5th Golf Charity of the INITIATIVE DO IT e.V. achieved historic record donations

36,000 euros net proceeds and the best atmosphere with glorious weather conditions

Planegg, July 12th, 2011
Donations of historical record - at the 5th Golf Charity of the INITIATIVE DO IT e.V. 36,000 euros net proceeds in favor of weak and people in need could be achieved.

For the fifth time the INITIATIVE DO IT e.V. invited to the annual golf charity in the picturesque golf club Olching which took place under the auspices of the Bavarian State Minister for Finance.

The INITIATIVE DO IT Charity Golf has established itself as a great sports and social event. The Charity Golf is one of the major German charity golf events.

The Bavarian Finance Minister Georg Fahrenschon (Patron), Ottmar Flach (Chairman of the INITIATIVE DO IT e.V.) and Stefan Denk (partner of the ALR Treuhand GmbH auditing company) invited to the charity golf tournament and thanked all the donors and sponsors for their generous support.

In the end they were able to achieve a total of 36,000 euros net proceeds to people in social distress.

This amount will help through projects like the "Herrschinger Tafel", "A better basis for pupils", "Children in Nepal", "Hadassah Medical Organization" and the Research Center for Children with Cancer at the University Hospital in Munich.

82 golf enthusiasts and friends of the INITIATIVE DO IT e.V. were strengthened by a hearty “Munich Weißwurst” breakfast, with summery weather under Bavaria’s blue sky to tee for a good purpose.

As every year the tournament was carried out as a Texas Scramble on the perfectly prepared fairways and greens of the golf club Olching. At 10.30 am 21 flights started off the game.
Participants came from 33 different golf clubs, which was very beneficial for the instant communication in the teams.

Net winner with 69 points was the flight of Christian Flach (GC Thailing), Dominik Bohn (GC Wörthsee), Marc Manuel Simler (GC Thailing) and Philipp Schlegtendal (GC Drautal / Berg). The special price “Nearest-to-the-pin” (guin) at the ladies was won by Cornelia Vollmann of the GC Hohenpähl, the men’s winner was Christian-Carl Schmitt of the GC GolfRange Augsburg.

The “longest drive” was achieved by Mrs. Hermine Riedel of the GC Olching with 201m and Mr. Dr. Christian Knoll of the Golf & Country Club Brunn with 230m.

"I really enjoyed being the patron of this great event. The efforts of the INITIATIVE DO IT e.V. is a wonderful counterbalance to government support for the state being dependent on such aid. “I would be happy to being offered the opportunity to overtake the patronage again in the next year”, said Georg Fahrenschon, Bavarian State Minister for Finance.

"We are delighted that this year's Golf Charity was a great success and we can financially support our projects with the record net proceeds of 36,000 euros. Since July 2007 we were able to distribute more than 10,000 food parcels to the people in need, and since October 2007 we supported 150 pupils in the subjects Math, English and German. In addition we support the Hadassah Medical Organization as well as children in Nepal.
All this would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors and donors", said Ottmar Flach, President of the INITIATIVE DO IT e.V.

“Today it was not the golf that was important," commented Stefan Denk, co-organiser and partner of the ALR Treuhand GmbH auditing company.
"Benefit performances are necessary because we are all doing so well and we lose the view for the dark side of our world. I want to thank all sponsors and donors for their generous support. Due to that support we are able to support the research project for children suffering from cancer by Professor Burdach at the University Hospital Munich", continued Stefan Denk.

The highlight of the evening was the very successful and entertaining live cooking show with the theme "Cooking is like punk rock." Wolfgang Weigler, chef and business partner of TV chef Stefan Marquard was always available with helpful tips and tricks in the fresh preparation of the main course, where the guests could have a look over his shoulder.

Because of the sensational success and positive feedback from many sponsors, the golf charity will take place again in 2012. On July 21st 2012 the INITIATIVE DO IT will present the sixth Golf Charity at the golf club in Wörthsee.
