Adelphoi Golf Classic Set for May

By Home Furnishings Business in on December 29, 2009 Rusbosin Furniture and Flooring, Greensburg, Pa., will again sponsor the the Adelphoi USA Golf Classic and Arnold Palmer Spirit of Hope Reception in Latrobe, Pa.

The May 16-18 golf tournament raises funds for Adelphoi USA, a regional non-profit organization with many award winning programs to help youth become accountable productive citizens. From group homes to Myltisystemic Therapy, Adelphoi helps youth and their families through alternative education, charter schools and foster care programs.

Participants get a chance to play Arnold Palmer's home courses, Latrobe Country Club and Laurel Valley Golf Club. John Rusbosin, president of Rusbosin Furniture and flooring, and co-chair of the event, said the tourney will surpass $1.5 million raised during Rusbosin's 25-year sponsorship.

The Arnold Palmer Spirit of Hope Award reception caps an opening day of golf at Latrobe Country Club on Sunday May 16. Laurel Valley Golf Club is reserved for Monday and Tuesday.

To help celebrate 25 years of the Adelphoi Golf Classic, Arnold Palmer has selected and donated a set of eight clubs, which include three-iron through pitching wedge, for auction. Palmer used the clubs 25 years ago in tournament play. Because only 5 sets of Palmer's golf clubs have been released to private collectors worldwide, this set is part of a very exclusive collection. The rest of Palmer's extensive collection of clubs are on permanent display at the USGA museum in Far Hills, N.J. 

The clubs, which have been authenticated by Palmer, are handsomely displayed in a shadow box and include an autographed Masters flag and a picture of Palmer. The winner of these clubs will have the opportunity to be photographed with Palmer when the clubs are presented during the 2010 Adelphoi Spirit of Hope Reception and Auction on Sunday, May 16 at the Latrobe Country Club. 

The clubs are currently on display at Rusbosin Furniture and Flooring in Greensburg. Pictures and details on the fundraiser are available on the Adelphoi USA Golf Classic Face Book page, and Rusbosin's Web site.
