The fourth annual Glebe Memorial Green Short Game and Cornhole Tournament took place October 22–23. The Virginia Baptist Homes (VBH) Foundation announced that participants raised a total of $7,800, a record-breaking amount, for The Glebe Endowed Fund for Benevolence. Gifts to this fund are invested and grown with earnings used to support the current benevolent need at The Glebe. This year, the Foundation is on target to provide more than $110,000 to residents in need at the community.
This year’s tournament, which is organized each year by resident Pam Renga, was held in memory of Glebe resident Virginia “Flash” Reynolds and Pam’s cousin, Dr. Earlynn J. Miller. “Despite challenges and delays as a result of the ongoing pandemic, it was a true joy to come together in support of residents in need,” said VBH Foundation Vice President Jodi Leonard. “The event’s success is a testament to Pam and her committee’s tireless efforts for which I couldn’t be more grateful.”
