Charity Golf Tournament. Nearly 140 attendees, comprised of golfers, sponsors and volunteers, en- joyed the networking and camaraderie among the lush surroundings of North Fulton Golf Course, located at Chastain Park. Event Chairman Scott Hutch ison thanked everyone on behalf of the Carter Samuel Martin Experimental Therapy Research Fund, which helps fund research for children with cancer. During the post-tournament dinner, golfers compared scorecards and saw some great final scores (and not-so-great). Regardless of the score, everyone agreed that it was a wonderful event and they were happy to be involved. All of this would not have been possible without


the support of sponsors and participants. ACBR would especially like to thank the golfers, volun- teers and event sponsor, Fairlead Commercial Real Estate, who helped to make the tournament an- other great success.
