On Saturday, August 28, the twelfth annual JL Challenge was held at Spring Hills Golf Course. This is the annual fundraising event for the Jerry Loyola Foundation whose mission is to provide quality of life support for families battling cancer and promote junior golf within the community. The foundation honors the memory of Jerry Loyola, a great young man and talented golfer who lost his battle with cancer in 2009 at the age of 24. Wheeler Accountants’ Dennis Campbell has supported this organization by providing tax preparation services since its inception. The firm has continued this tradition since 2017 and is recognized as a major sponsor.
This year Team Wheeler consisted of Don McCombs, Daniel Aguirre and Dennis Campbell. We had a tough day on the course, finishing 30th out of the 40 teams who returned score cards. Still, it was a very enjoyable day for all participants, and we eagerly await the foundation’s “Battle for the Belt” fundraiser to be held later in the year. The event, once again, was a huge success and enabled the foundation to continue its mission. The tradition of this event and its support for this great cause will continue in our community for many years to come!
