DSI Golf Classic raises $18,900 for kids in need

An annual fundraiser to help area children with disabilities brought in nearly $19,000. Tom Harpring, director of communications at Developmental Services, Inc., says that last week’s DSI Golf Classic raised $18,900. The outing, which recently completed its 32nd year, was held June 7th at Otter Creek Golf Course in Columbus.

Harpring says that Team Mancinos, made up of Columbus residents David Gregory and Damon Gregory, along with Todd Weatherwax, of Greensburg and Daniel Fix, of Osgood, shot a 19-under-par 53 to win the scramble.

DSI officials say that since the first installment of this fundraiser in 1985, the DSI Golf Classic has raised nearly $440,000 for DSI’s Children’s Service. That is the organization that provides therapies for infants and toddlers with developmental disabilities, as well as support and education for families.
