Golfers and Tennis Tournament Sponsors were also treated to an awards dinner, a live and silent auction and a casino gambling party post tournament.

This year’s silent auction had over 200 items and raised more money than ever before for charity.  

“Our after party is the most fun you can have on a Monday night,” states Chairman Theo Keyserling, “and this year it showed - we had a record busting year with our live and silent auction.”

All of the funds generated in the tournament will directly go to the over 25 charities that Roswell Rotary supports including The STAR House Foundation, Every Woman Works, North Fulton Community Charities, The Child Development Association, EnAble of Georgia, Foster Care Support Foundation and many more.
