The Scrapple Scramble, billed as “a regional delicacy and golf outing” was held on June 4, 2010 at Willow Hollow Golf Course (Leesport, PA) and raised over $7,000 for The Reading Hospital Regional Cancer Center. The money will help provide cancer screenings for Berks County residents who otherwise could not afford, or have sufficient insurance, to cover such screenings.
“We thought it would be fun to tap our own talents and plan a golf outing; plus we wanted the event to benefit a good, local cause. We’ve all lost people to cancer and it’s a wicked disease, so we decided the Scrapple Scramble proceeds would go to the fight against cancer. Where better to fight than on our home turf? We were totally blown away by other local companies’ willingness and enthusiasm in getting involved.” said Rob Wolf, LaunchDM’s senior managing partner.
Mother nature served up a perfect day at Willow Hollow. 100 golfers played in the event and others joined the festivities after the round. Event sponsors were HUGE in regards to raising money, donating prizes, fielding golfers and spreading the word. The sponsor list was full of companies from large to small – most of which have their base in Berks County. The round of golf was kicked off with a word of thanks from Dr. Charles Lusch, Medical Director for the Regional Cancer Center. Great food, live tunes and a playoff on #9, an elevated/par 3/water hole, for the championship made The Scrapple a truly unique and memorable experience.
A Scrapple Scramble Facebook page has been setup and plans for next year’s event should start taking shape in the next few months. We’d be more than happy to start entertaining sponsorship ideas for next year if you, or your company, would like to organize something special.
The 2010 event was awesome. Here’s to an even more successful 2011 Scrapple Scramble!
