The 14th Annual Randy Smith Memorial Golf Classic, benefiting families in the trade show industry who have suffered severe tragedies or face insurmountable medical expenses, will take place on October 24, 2008 at Chateau Elan in Braselton, Georgia, and there are still opportunities to participate!  “The Randy” started with friends helping one man’s family. A decade later, this event is an avalanche of hope for many families in the exhibition industry.

Mike Boone of Coastal International, one of many RSMGC supporters, is overwhelmed at the show of support for our industry and how many individuals and corporations have stepped up to help.

“Their generosity is amazing, but there will always be people in need. Individuals and Corporations can still help this year by participating in the golf class, or offering your help through one of our sponsorships. Wristbands, similar to LIVESTRONG, are available for a five-dollar donation.”

“If you are a member of the trade show community and have not supported this great cause, I hope you’ll start today! We all lead by example and you never know when your actions may help someone close to you who is in desperate need. Donate money and time - it always comes back to you in the long run. This is a very worthwhile charity event to support. All volunteers, all the time,” said Boone.

I wish I had the ability to be there for this event.  Not only would it be great to play golf somewhere that does not have a 1/2 inch of frost on the grass in the morning like here at home, but I think it is a great cause and one that we all should consider being a part of in our industry.
