Big Tree Invitational 2022
A Milestone Year!
THANK YOU to everyone who made our second Big Tree Invitational a milestone success.
We smashed our number from last year and raised almost $10,000 in a single day from donations, raffle prizes, golf side games, and more! Plus, we did it without a single raindrop — quite the difference from last year.
During 2022, we were fortunate to raise enough money to support TWO families. This is huge for us to have accomplished in only our second year and we know Erik would be proud as we’re making the difference we originally set out to do.
The first family we gave $15,000 to was the Snesrud Family from Point of Rocks, Maryland. The funds are given in honor of Erik(husband) who passed in February 2020. While the family was unable to attend the reception, we were able to honor them via their family friend Kathy Ong.
The second family that received $15,000 from the Big Tree Memorial Fund was Marshall Family from Bowie, Maryland. Eric passed in January 2021 from colon cancer. His wife, Raven, was joined by her two children, Ayden and Aubrey, at the Big Tree Invitational reception and gave us all a few smiles despite the very emotional occasion.
With the funds comes becoming a part of the Big Tree family. It's better together.
Big Tree Invitational 2021
A Wrap Up
THANK YOU to everyone who made our inaugural Big Tree Invitational a huge success. It would not have been possible without the support from our sponsors, volunteers, golfers, friends, and family. Between our raffles and donations, we raised almost $4,000 in a single day! We have room for improvement in the weather department but we couldn't be happier with the feelings of community and family.
Over the past year, we were fortunate to have raised $15,000 to give to the Snider Family in honor and memory of Kathryn. With the funds comes becoming a part of the Big Tree family. We are all in this together.
