Hitting the Greens in Michigan and Ohio
Golfers who attended MIRA’s 47th Annual Michigan Golf Open experienced a different event than they have in the previous years.
“We have always put on golf outings that many would say were among their favorites, but this year we really stepped it up,” said Bobby Hesano, Chairman of MIRA’s Board of Governors. “The amazing raffle prizes, the live broadcast with Jason Carr, the celebrities and the sponsored holes, with samples of incredible food and beverages just elevated this event and you could feel an upbeat fun vibe all day.”
MIRA’s Michigan Open boasted 256 people playing 18 holes at the beautiful Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center in Plymouth, Michigan.
MIRA members from across the states of Michigan and Ohio participated along with many local celebrities including retired Detroit Red Wing favorites Darren McCarty, Jiri Fischer, John Ogrodnick, Brent Fedyk, and former Detroit Lions kicker Eddie Murray. The new Mayor of Westland, Michael Londeau also joined in on the fun.
During breakfast, Detroit broadcaster Jason Carr hosted his popular podcast Jason Carr Drive live on site. “What a thrill to broadcast here,” said Carr. “What a great facility and this is truly a first-class event. Just an all-around great time for sponsors and players alike. For those who have never played in a MIRA golf outing or may not have known what MIRA is all about, this was such a great introduction to MIRA and the MIR Foundation.”
“Jason is a great spokesperson for MIRA, and we are proud to be a sponsor of his popular live Facebook show,” said Bill Wild, MIRA president and CEO. “He preaches the value of independent retailers to his large audience of avid viewers.”
MIRA graciously thanks all of the amazing sponsors and donors!
