The Gateway Sertoma Club of Lincoln recently presented a generous gift to support Tabitha Meals on Wheels.
A $35,000 check was given at Tabitha’s annual celebratory breakfast hosting members of the Sertoma Club following its 10th annual golf tournament.
Tournament proceeds came from a variety of generous corporate sponsors, individual donors, silent auction items and a record 160-plus golfers. KLKN-TV took home the trophy and bragging rights as the winner of the tournament’s annual corporate media challenge. Next year’s Sertoma Golf Tournament is slated for Friday, June 7, 2013.
Operating seven days per week, 365 days per year, Tabitha Meals on Wheels is the oldest—and today the only—such program in Lincoln. Its volunteer drivers deliver hot, nutritious meals to Elders in their homes and provide a critical safety check for seniors in the community.
Gateway Sertoma, dedicated to SERvice TO MAnkind, has given back to the Lincoln community for 50 years. The 50-member club has raised more than $1 million for organizations including Tabitha, the Barkley Center for Scholarships and the Nebraska Hearing Aid Bank.
