Youth Advocate Endowment Fund Golf Ball Drop

On behalf of the Endowment Board, I would like to announce the winners of the 2010 Golf Ball Drop held April 21, 2010 at the Sportsman's Golf Course. Of the 4,448 balls that were dropped, amazingly eight golf balls went into the hole! According to the official rules of the game, all eight will equally split the first, second and third prizes, which amounts to $1,062.50 per winner.

The winners are:

• #10160 purchased by Gerald Hall, sold by Shaneka Bynum in Roanoke, VA
• #1468 purchased by Jim Smeltzer, sold by Juliet Smeltzer in Lancaster, PA

The Mulligan Prize of $100 was awarded to Richard Ennis, an employee in Philadelphia, PA. The ball was measured at 57 feet away from the hole.

We'd like to extend a special thank you to our judges:

• Gloria Martin Roberts - President of City Council, Harrisburg
• LaVon A. Postelle - Magisterial District Judge, Harrisburg
• Scott Alexander - General Manager, Sportsman's Golf Course, Harrisburg

Additionally, we'd like to thank Rick Ingram, owner of Rick's Tree and Stump Removal from Linglestown, PA, for donating the cherry picker from which the golf balls were dropped.

Further communication regarding the total raised and donors will be forthcoming. The Endowment Board would like to thank everyone who made this fundraiser a great success!
