We take this opportunity to say a very BIG THANK YOU to all of our sponsors, donors and participants of Albany County Correctional Facility for Children's Benefits 6th Annual "Teed Off For Tots" golf event held on Friday, June 25, 2010 at the Fairways of Halfmoon golf course to support seriously ill children around Albany, New York's Capital Region.
The highlight was when our "Courage Award" recipient- Buddy LaFontaine age 14, went for a surprise helicopter ride to make his "Dream Come true" of flying a helicopter! Buddy wants to be a pilot when he grows. Our very special Thanks to Mr. Bruce Tanski, owner of Fairways of Halfmoon for arranging the helicopter to land at the golf course so Buddy could fly the helicopter! We were honored to have Mr. Parker Bohn III, Pro Bowlers Assoc Hall of Famer in attendance at this years very successful event.
Buddy looks forward to co-piloting Attorney Terry Kindlon's Cessna one day soon at the Selkirk airfield. We will keep you posted!
