We had AWESOME sunshine and wonderful temps (despite a few years of rain). Perhaps the rain slickers included in the goodie bag scared off the clouds. The Bump and Run Band was better than ever and included many talented friends including: Brian, Deb, Andrea, Ron, Jeff, Joey Boom.

This event has raised over $45,000!!!!!!!! This year's Phebe Scholarship Fund recipient was a lovely young lady who is studying Music at a local college. Also, we helped young Ben meet his idol—in this case from American Idol—Dave Cook.

Proceeds go directly to the Phebe Blessington Music Memorial Scholarship Fund, benefiting graduates of William Tennent High School who are musically and community minded and who are pursuing further education. Phebe was a dynamic and talented singer. Her musical skills were surpassed only by her endless love and her ability to positively impact everyone around her. Phebe was killed in a senseless car accident in 1997 at the age of 30. Her friends and family started the “Phebe Fund” and other charitable works after her tragic death in her name and in her spirit. The “ Bump and Run ” was started to provide an active and continuing source of income to the Phebe Fund. Phebe had an innate ability to pull great people together for great music and a lot of laughs, all the while making her corner of the world a little better. We strive for this spirit in the “ Bump and Run ”.

The Bump and Run started on the fly, attracting about 40 friends the first year. Our list of great guests (and terrific volunteers) has grown significantly every year. This year we are expecting well over 100 golfers. Each year has been rich with good people and fun prizes. The Happy Hour/Dinner has turned into an event of its own (all non-golfers very welcome), adding a lively auction, and adding live music last year (thanks to Phebe's many talented musician friends). With expected proceeds this year, we will have raised almost $40,000 for the charity so far!!! In fact, the amount of the scholarship has been increased due to the Bump and Run proceeds.
