After a three-way tie for first place, winners were determined by a scorecard playoff. First place went to the Excell Color Graphics team of Fort Wayne. Second place was won by Kappa Sigma alumni Alex Lorencz ‘10, Shawn Floyd ‘09, Andrew Lesher ‘10 and Mat Iacobelli ‘09. Coming in third place was a team representing Northwest Comprehensive of Chicago.
Other winners of the day included Rob Mater, who won $530 in the 50/50 drawing, and Jim Smoots ’67, who won the putting green contest and took home a Dell Venue 8 Tablet donated by Dell Marketing Concepts.
Several other raffle prizes were generously donated, including a Taylor Made SLDR Driver, restaurant gift certificates and a Weber grill.
