12th Annual Asher Open - March 2008

On March 19th, Asher and Company, Ltd. celebrated its 12th Annual Golf Open - the first to be held at our new offices located at Ten Penn Center.

Creativity Comes Into Play
This year's Asher Open Design-A-Hole Contest saw many creative and unique entries. Golf hole themes included a tribute to the Spring season, Margaritaville, Alex's Lemonade Stand, and Peeps candy.

Television Coverage
This year, we were visited by NBC10 news, who ran highlights of Joyce Santiago, Doug Hall, and Vicki Dworski playing the course on the evening news.

This Year's Benefactor
This year's defending champion, Doug Hall, designated Alex's Lemonade stand as this year's benefactor. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) public charity, is a unique foundation that evolved from a young cancer patient's front yard lemonade stand to a nationwide fundraising movement to find a cure for pediatric cancer. Since Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004) set up her front yard stand at the age of four, more than $17 million has been raised towards fulfilling her dream of finding a cure for all children with cancer. We were proud to support such a great cause.

The Grand Total
With the support and participation of Asher clients, vendors, alumni and friends for a second consecutive year, the Asher Open raised approximately $3,410.

Closing Ceremony and Party
The day concluded with a catered staff party during which the day's top golfers and Design-A-Hole Contest winners were recognized.

This year's top golfer was Timothy Dirkes. As this year's winner, Tim will be in charge of selecting next year's Asher Open benefactor.

The Design-A-Hole Winners, Jen Silvan, Wendy Riso, and Meghan Barrett were presented their $100 Barnes and Noble Gift Certificate.

All participating golfers received a small prize that they could choose from the “Pro Shop.”
