In a year in which canceled events seem par for the course, we were thrilled that two golf tournaments benefiting Wings of Hope went off as planned. On September 20, golfers gathered at The Courses in Forest Park in St. Louis for the John “Mike” Cordell Children’s Charity Golf Classic. The tournament honored the late Shriner who was beloved for his big heart and cheerful disposition as the driver of the red Shriner van providing Wings of Hope medical air transport patients ground transport to their appointments at Shriners Hospitals for Children-St. Louis. On September 23, the 44th Annual Business Aviation Association Memorial Open took place at Old Hickory Golf Club in St. Peters, MO. The annual tournament was sponsored by the Greater St. Louis Business Aviation Association (GSLBAA), a longtime supporter of Wings of Hope which has made a tradition of splitting the tournament proceeds between Wings of Hope and the GSLBAA Educational Foundation. We are grateful to both organizations for teeing off to support Wings of Hope!
