Mike and Sara Dent have done it again! They along with their family members and the staff at Wings Pizza N Things in Temple have broken the record for the largest donation ever made to CASA of Bell and Coryell Counties. The 2024 CASA Classic Golf Tournament, sponsored by the Dent family and Wings Pizza N Things raised $60,000 to support the work and programs that CASA provides to children in foster care in our two counties. The event also broke records for the number of golfers, sponsors, and money raised in a single day in what has become one of the most prestigious events in Central Texas. Forty-seven golf teams (188 golfers) played golf on a beautiful Monday at Sammons Golf Course in Temple. The golf course was in pristine shape thanks to the efforts of their staff and direction of Stephen Drews at the course. The event included a “ball drop” of 100 golf balls on a green prior to teeing off. The balls were sold with the “closest ball to the pin” winning a smoker donated by Sam’s Club in Temple. CASA is blessed to have the support of Mike and Sara Dent along with Wings Pizza N Things and the community. The Dent’s donated $60,000 to CASA from the proceeds of the golf tournament. This incredible support allows CASA to keep growing, adding staff members, and recruiting more volunteers – so we can serve more children in Bell and Coryell Counties. 100% of the golf tournament proceeds are used for direct services and support of the kids we serve and every penny is spent on children from right here in our two-county area. CASA wishes to thank the Dent family, the staff of Wings Pizza N Things, and all the tournament sponsors and participants. The day could not have been successful without the volunteer help from CASA board members, advocates, and friends who served at the tournament and dinner events. In just four short years, this tournament has exceeded all expectations and achieved premier tournament status in Central Texas. It is providing the single largest fundraising impact for CASA that enables our office to serve more children in Bell and Coryell Counties.
