Charity Tournament Scheduled for October 14, 2008 at The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Ross Bridge

BIRMINGHAM, AL – September 19, 2008 – ComFrame Software Corporation today announced that proceeds from the organization’s Children’s Charity Golf Classic will benefit the Keeping Promises Campaign to help fund expansion of Children’s Hospital of Alabama. The tournament will be held at The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Ross Bridge Resort in Hoover, Alabama on October 14, 2008.

As Alabama’s population has grown, facilities at Children’s Hospital of Alabama have become inadequate to provide the level of care needed to meet the demands of an increasing number of patients. Children’s is undertaking a $450 million expansion project to provide better healthcare service in the future. The Keeping Promises campaign has a goal of raising at least $100 million from individuals, businesses and foundations to go toward the building of the new hospital facilities.  

To support the Keeping Promises campaign, ComFrame is inviting its customers, partners and friends in the Southeast to take part in the Children’s Charity Classic with a goal of raising $50,000 to benefit the hospital expansion project. "ComFrame has benefited in many ways from Children’s Hospital over the years, from responsive care for our children to the business relationship we’ve enjoyed as a supplier of IT services for Children’s,” said Marc Guthrie, Chief Executive Officer for ComFrame. “The Charity Golf Classic is an opportunity for ComFrame to try and give something back to an organization that has given so much to the families of our state.”

Planning efforts for the Children’s Charity Classic are underway, led by Debra Hays of ComFrame. The event kicks off at 10:30 a.m. with registration, networking and a luncheon keynote session. The keynote address will feature Children’s Hospital patients and Children’s executive vice president Mike McDevitt. McDevitt’s presentation will focus on how technology is changing the process of healthcare delivery. Golfers will tee-off in a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. Golf tournament participation is available for 100 golfers at $1,000 per foursome. The tournament will conclude with a Tuesday evening reception at which proceeds from the event will be presented to Children’s Hospital.

A variety of Charity Classic sponsorship packages are available, from an exclusive Presenting Sponsor option, to Silver ($1,250), Gold ($2,000) and Platinum ($3,000) packages, lunch and reception sponsorships, hole sponsorships and golfer prizes for “longest drive,” “closest to the pin,” and other prizes. ComFrame is also accepting donations of golf prize items from area businesses. Companies and individuals that would like to make monetary donations to the Keeping Promises campaign can source those through ComFrame as well.
