Owings Mills, Md.—Approximately 125 people attended the 2nd annual Stephen L.

The golf package was auctioned for $4,600.
Other top event sponsors included Lexus of Towson and R.J. Princinsky and Associates as platinum sponsors, and Human Service Benefits Corporation and McCormick and Company as ruby sponsors.
The event was held Monday, Sept. 18 at the Bulle Rock Golf Course in Havre de Grace, Md. The foursome of Dave Wolf, Steve Wolf, Dan Wooden and Dave Wooden placed first among 23 teams that participated in the tournament. Following the 18-holes, attendees enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and a seated dinner, as well as a live auction and raffle drawings. Throughout the event participants bid on silent auction items, which featured sports memorabilia, restaurant gift certificates, and concert tickets.
