Chicago Randy Cancellation Announcement
It is with mixed emotions, due to the current economic conditions, that the organizers of the local Chicago Randy Charity Golf Outing and the Randy Smith Memorial Golf Classic in Atlanta, feel it best to cancel the Chicago Randy Golf Outing, originally scheduled for August 3rd.
In light if the current situation, we don’t feel our supporters should feel the burden of obligation this year and would like the focus to be toward re-building our industry and companies.
If you still wish to make a donation please visit rsgmc.org, The Randy Smith Memorial Golf Outing website. We appreciate your support the last six years and look forward to the 2010 Chicago Randy.
We wish everyone the best.”
