We want to thank our tournament sponsor, Windsor Electric and specifically owner Donald Kirk and his wife Patricia.  They are wonderful people who do amazing things.  The Kirk’s are very interested in helping youth through education.  They not only contribute financially through their company and family foundation but their philanthropic efforts extend to service on various committees and Boards, such as the Maryland Governor’s Office on Service and Volunteerism and the Commission on Service and Volunteerism.  The Windsor Electric Company has been serving Baltimore and surrounding counties since 1955 by offering award winning, quality electrical construction to general contractors, private institutions and industry.  Their services include electrical contracts for office buildings, warehouse facilities, factories, shopping centers, nursing homes, hospitals, schools, hotels, and municipal office buildings.  Their well-trained personnel specialize in all types of commercial, institutional, and industrial wiring and lighting maintenance as well as rental of augering, backhoe, bucket truck, crane, and trenching equipment with a trained operator.  Several of their employees live in PA.

Other sponsors who joined our golf tournament program in support of scholarships are Utz Quality Foods and Lowes.  Medeast Post-Op & Surgical, Inc. and Wes Gabriel also provided substantial support.  Other sponsors included Joe Scarselletta, Frank Kilkelly MD, Nick Popchak, Dave Umberger, Wes Wachter, Tim Strouse/ Linvatec Corporation, Vince and Charleen Zetena, Utz Quality Foods, Hanover Orthopedic Associates, Rebound Medical/ DonJoy Orthopedics.
