This year’s event was spectacular!  Moderate temperatures and clear blue skies throughout the day proved ideal weather for the over 140 golfers who participated.  And most importantly, S3 raised more than $40,000 to support DDP’s Safety and Security program.

S3 Executive Vice President Carl Bentley and Detroit Branch Sheena Wells, Resource Manager on the Consultant Care Team, along with the incredible Detroit Team coordinated the day.

“We are ecstatic so many golfers came out to help support the DDP and raise much needed dollars for our city,” said Bentley.

Headquartered in Detroit, S3 believes in giving back to the communities in which they do business. DDP also understands the importance in uplifting communities and creating opportunities.  Together, S3 and DDP will continue to build a partnership where corporate, civic and philanthropic leaders support, advocate, and develop programs and initiatives designed to create a clean, safe, and inviting Downtown Detroit.

Next year’s Annual Charity Golf Outing will be held on Sunday, August 9, 2015.  We look forward to seeing you there!
