April 25th was a special day as it marked the Cook-Wissahickon School First Annual Golf Outing.

Beautiful weather, good golfing and a great cause all combined to mark a special fundraising event for PBP’s favorite city elementary school.

The outing was held at the secluded Walnut Lane Golf Course in Fairmount Park, which is just a well-struck 5-iron from the school.

Cook-Wiss, as PBPers’ fondly refer the school, provides a well-rounded education to students in grades K-thru-8. But like many Philadelphia public schools, C-W took a big hit with budget cuts.

Funds from the golf outing, which was sponsored by the Cook-Wissahickon Home & School Association, are used for basic supplies and funding for essential personnel to keep students safe in the building.

PBP came through in a big way by sponsoring two foursomes in the outing as well as becoming a Platinum sponsor.

While neither foursome scored low enough to win the tournament, PBP finance specialist Patrick Schuman brought home the trophy in the long drive competition. Congrats to Pat, who also happens to be a mentor in PBP’s 19-year-old school mentoring program.
