Stirling Properties’ 13th Annual Stirling Invitational Golf Tournament raised $10,000 for Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. The scramble-style golf tournament hosted by Stirling Properties was held Monday, October 28th at University Club in Baton Rouge where generous contributions from sponsors and over 125 golfers helped to make the event a success.
Grady Brame, Executive Vice President of Stirling Properties, presented the donation to Todd Stevens, President and CEO of Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, during an awards celebration following the tournament.
“Due to the generosity of our tournament sponsors, we are able to once again this year donate to an organization that does so much good work for the people in our region,” said Brame.
Stirling Properties has been able to make over $106,000 in charitable contributions to various organizations over the past 13 years with Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center being the charitable recipient of the majority of the tournament proceeds.
