Harlingen Sunburst Rotary Club’s Annual Wine & Women Golf Tournament: A Milestone for Women’s Golf in the Rio Grande Valley

check

The Harlingen Sunburst Rotary Club is thrilled to share the success of our Wine & Women Golf Tournament, the first all-women’s golf tournament in the Rio Grande Valley! This incredible event brought together passionate women golfers for a day of fun, community support, and unforgettable moments, all in the name of supporting families in need.

The day was packed with excitement. Every golfer received a door prize, and generous donations from local businesses allowed us to offer a wide range of raffle prizes—from unique gift baskets to gift certificates, keeping the energy high throughout the day.

Auction Highlights and Winning Teams

One of the event’s highlights was the live auction, where attendees had the chance to bid on weekend getaways, a guided fishing trip, luxurious spa packages, and more—items generously donated by area businesses. This auction added to the spirit of the day, creating lively competition and additional fundraising for our cause.

We also want to recognize our 2024 top three winning teams for their fantastic performances:

– First Place: Catherine Magnuson, Linda Greenlee, and Cheryl Reitmeier

– Second Place: Janet Amble, Judy Rud, and Linda Plummer

– Third Place: Bianca Castillo, Jennifer Leal, and Rebecca Hope

Congratulations to these outstanding golfers, and thank you for your participation!

Giving Back to Our Community

As with every year, all proceeds from the Wine & Women Golf Tournament will go toward supporting a local nonprofit organization dedicated to serving women and families. Over the past two years, our club has proudly donated to the Family Crisis Center of Harlingen, and we are excited to continue making an impact through this event.

Looking Forward to Next Year

The success of this year’s tournament has us already looking forward to next year’s event, with hopes of expanding and welcoming even more participants. Join us for another inspiring day of golf, community spirit, and support for local families. Save the date for March 8, 2025!

Thank you to all golfers, volunteers, sponsors, and local business donors who made this event possible. Your support has helped make a real difference in the Rio Grande Valley!
