To Oak Ridge Today:

Community Mediation Services of Anderson County deeply appreciates the support and enthusiasm of golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and the Oak Ridge Country Club at the 15th Annual Big Ed’s Memorial Golf Tournament.

Thanks to you, at-risk youth and families in Anderson County continue to have a way to peacefully resolve difficult issues with solutions they themselves determine. The golf tournament also honors Big Ed Neusel and David Neusel and their legacy of giving much to others while seeking recognition from none.

We look forward to seeing you in 2017 on the last Friday in April at the 16th Annual Big Ed’s Memorial Golf Tournament.

Many sponsors helped make this year’s tournament a success. A special thank you to major sponsors: Big Ed’s Pizza; Stone & Hinds, P.C. Attorneys at Law; C&J Wealth Advisors; Centrus Energy; SYSCO; EAGLE Distributors; Coca Cola; Sexton Automotive Group; Oak Ridge Associated Universities; and American Trust Bank of East TN.

We would also like to thank Enrichment, ORNL, and Y-12 Federal Credit Unions for their continuing support along with European Auto Garage; McArthur Animal Hospital; Apple Health and Wellness; and Matt Harper, ChFC. Other sponsors include Ridgeview; Farm Bureau Insurance (Farragut); ORUD; J&M Butcher Shop; Tracy J. Larabee, CPA; Exact Tile, Inc.; HG&A Associates, P.C.; Hope 4 Tomorrow, LLC; Visit Historic Rugby; Robert Wilkinson Attorney at Law; Fox Toyota; Strategic Consulting Solutions, Inc.; PDS Consulting Solutions LLC; Herron-Connell Insurance; TBC Solutions, Inc.; Linda Brown Realty; and Donny Hitch Collision Repair. 96.7 MERLE FM and WYSH am 1380/FM 101.1 provided on-air advertising.
