Coach Mike Tomlin leads Extra Mile’s 11th Annual Golf Outing
Extra Mile’s 11th annual golf outing was another big success in terms of money raised, increased awareness and new friends.
The event at the Club at Nevillewood was highlighted by Coach Tomlin’s presence during the day, as well as remarks after dinner.
“This cause is all about children,” Coach said. “Nothing is more important in today’s world than our children’s welfare and their ability to succeed. That’s what the schools supported by Extra Mile work on, every day. I’m very happy to be a part of this organization.”
The dinner program included remarks by two alumni: Shikayla Clancy, a St. Agnes and Oakland Catholic graduate who will be attending Duquesne University in the fall, and Paul Ellis, a St. Benedict the Moor graduate who is now an attorney and community leader. Both attributed their success to lessons learned in their elementary schools, as well as the caring and supportive environment that enabled them to grow.
Milt Washington, the chair of the golf outing, reported the event will clear about $100,000. He thanked the event’s major sponsors, including Highmark, PNC Financial, Citizens Bank, Giant Eagle, Kenilworth Steel, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bob Pompeani was the dinner program’s master of ceremonies. Former Steelers Lynn Swann, Craig Bingham, Todd Kalis and Robin Cole played in the outing.
