Program Spotlights


Rain-Free Golf Outing a Success

The 11th Annual PEFCU/Hippensteel Funeral Service and Crematory Golf Outing to benefit Family Services took place on Wednesday, May 19, at Coyote Crossing Golf Course.  Golfers enjoyed lunch and made bids on the silent auction before the shotgun start at noon.  18 holes and "par is your friend" on the award-winning course maked for a great afternoon of golf on a beautiful day--the only day that week that it didn't rain!.  Afterwards, the golfers came back to the clubhouse for hors d'oeuvres, awards, and silent auction winners.

The golf outing is our biggest fundraising event, and this year we raised nearly $44,000 that will help us continue to provide services to families and individuals in our community.  Many thanks to our title sponsor PEFCU, and our name sponsor Hippensteel Funeral Service and Crematory, to our lunch, hors d'oeuvres, cart and hole sponsors, and to all of the businesses and individuals who sponsored teams.   Your support is invaluable!
