The 4th Annual Dan Hiller Golf Memorial

2008 Golf Outing!

Once again, our sincerest thanks to everyone who participated in this year's event. It was a great success, raising $3,841.34 for Children's Hospital of Michigan! We are so honored and thrilled to be able to donate this money in Dan's name. 

There are many people/companies without whom we could not have had a successful event. To David Fischer and the Suburban Collection: thank you for being our presenting sponsor once again. We are so grateful for your support and we couldn't make this a premier event without you. 

Also many thanks to our Gold Sponsors:

• Suburban Imports of Troy
• Suburban Imports of Farmington Hills 
• Honda Bloomfield
• Detroit Media Partnership 

and to our Hole Sponsors:

• The Great Baraboo
• Lucido Realty 
• Hat Trick Investment 
• Pro-Fab Sheet Metal 
• Motor City Electric 
• Dealers Resources, Inc.    

 
Also, thank you to our "Friends of Dan" who donated prizes or made monetary donations. We truly cannot thank you enough for your support. 

And last but certainly not least, many thanks to our golfers and dinner guests! We were thrilled to once again fill the course with 144+ golfers. We're so grateful that you are willing to spend your day with us and we appreciate your support! 

We look forward to seeing everyone next year! (More photos can be found here)

The 2nd Annual Dan Hiller Memorial Golf Outing was a huge success! Many thanks go to David Fischer and The Suburban Collection once again for their wonderful and ongoing support. 

I want to personally thank my aunts, uncles, cousins, mom, and friends for all of their help and support in getting this event running smoothly. So much planning goes into it and everyone does their share to make sure that the event is a success. 

More details about this year's event, along with photos and our grand total, in the next few days.......

2 Years...

We lost my father, Dan Hiller, 2 years ago today. It's been what seems like the longest and shortest 2 years of our lives. We love him and miss him as much as ever. We want to say thank you to all of you who have supported us over the last 2 years, all of you who have shared a kind memory of him or made us laugh by telling a funny story about him. What I know for sure and what comforts me most is knowing that he hasn't been forgotten. 

As a family, we're so appreciative of the outpouring of support for this golf outing because it just confirms for us that there are still many, many people who, 2 years later, miss and love my dad and feel the same way we do. This golf outing is about sharing that love for him, celebrating his life and legacy and remembering him as he was and remains in our hearts: one of the kindest, funniest people who you'd ever meet who had a soft spot in his heart for the people he loved. I am certain that is how he'd want us to remember him....by celebrating, not mourning. 

We so look forward to this golf outing....not just to raise money in his name, but to share in memories and stories with friends and family, and to acknowledge the belief that his time here meant so much to so many. 

We miss you, Dad!
