NC Holiday
Flotilla Anchors
Away Launch
Party
Open to participants as well
as the public, the Anchors Away
Launch Party always kicks off the
NC Holiday Flotilla weekend with a
bang. This year was no different as
more than 300 people attended the
event held at the Blockade Runner
Beach Resort. Flotilla chair Linda
Brown says this was one of the best
launch parties in flotilla history
thanks to the Central Park Band
and the record number of sponsors
for the event, including Hutchens,
Senter & Britton, PA.
Willie Stargell
Celebrity Golf
Tournament
Sports stars and celebrities took
to the links at the Country Club
of Landfall on November 11-13
for the 9th Annual Willie Stargell
Celebrity Golf Tournament. Started
by Willie Stargell’s wife, Margaret
Weller-Stargell, the Willie Stargell
Foundation holds this annual tournament
to raise funds and awareness
for those suffering from kidney
disease. This year’s tournament
raised nearly $150,000 for the foundation,
which donates the funds to
institutions like the National Kidney
Foundation, New Hanover Regional
Medical Center and renal care nursing
programs at the University of North
Carolina Wilmington and Cape Fear
Community College.
