Each year, the Maggie Thompson Invitational Board chooses a deserving charity to benefit from the sales of the raffle items and sponsorships.  This year, the Board has selected the Amity Hospice Thanksgiving Dinner Drive as the key benefactor.

Holidays are a stressful time for all, and especially so for families of loved ones in hospice care. One special commitment of Amity Hospice is to provide complete Thanksgiving dinners to several of the hospice patients and their families to help ease some stress.

Dedicated volunteers rise early on Thanksgiving morning and convene to fry turkeys for up to 30 families.  Fully prepared side dishes and desserts are purchased from a local supermarket.  Volunteers then deliver the fresh, hot dinners to hospice families.  Your sponsorship will help defray the cost of those dinners.  Here are some pictures of last year's turkey frying and previous turkey frying events.

Remaining unallocated funds will be donated to Community Garden Kitchen as food insecurity is always an issue and worsened in the pandemic.  Ten smaller donations will be made to other deserving charities or entities as Random Acts of Kindness.  

The Maggie Thompson Invitational Board greatly appreciates your support for the Amity Hospice Thanksgiving Dinner Drive and other charities.  It is through your support that allows our tournament to thrive and charities to benefit.
