Charlotte, N.C., August 4, 2009 - Global anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America is proud to announce that the fifth annual Midwest Converters Golf Outing, a tournament coordinated each year by All Printing Resources and Harper Corporation, raised nearly $1,000 for the Phoenix Challenge Foundation. The tournament, took place on June 22nd at The Royal St Patrick's golf course in Wrightstown, Wisc.

According to Neil Surber, National Sales Manager for Harper Corporation, "One hundred-twenty golfers attended and everyone had a great time. The course was in excellent condition and the service was even better. We were lucky again this year as the weather was perfect. However, the best part of the event is getting together with converters and suppliers to enjoy a day of friendship and camaraderie."

In addition to providing a great time for all, the event included a challenge hole to benefit the Phoenix Challenge. The challenge was a par three with a 20-foot circle around the hole.

Surber added, "The group was honored to donate $952. I guess The Phoenix Challenge should feel lucky we are not all excellent golfers!"

All Printing Resources and The Flint Group graciously provided lunch. Many course prizes and door prizes were awarded, but the grand prize went to Pat Marquart, Beecher Skinner, Dana Standefer and Tim Allen. The foursome shot 11 under par and was awarded first place.
