Cobleskill Golf and Country Club Donates Nearly 2,500 to Marathon for a Better Life

COBLESKILL – The Cobleskill Golf and Country Club recently presented a check for $2,478 to The Marathon for a Better Life, an organization supporting Schoharie County residents battling cancer. The donation represents the proceeds from the country club's annual golf tournament.

Sandy Poole, the tournament organizer, expressed enthusiasm for this year's event. "This was our best Marathon tournament to date," Poole said. "Not only in the number of players, but more importantly in what was raised to help the fine folks at The Marathon for a Better Life."

Kathy Diamond, president of the Board of Directors for The Marathon for a Better Life, thanked the club and participants. "Year after year this group goes above and beyond in raising money," Diamond said. "On behalf of the entire Marathon for a Better Life, I thank you and every golfer that played in the tournament."

During the presentation, Sandy Poole also held one of this year's Angel Awards. Marathon board member Bruce Tryon noted the award "is given to someone or a group who each year exemplifies what the Marathon for a Better Life represents to those Schoharie County residents battling cancer."

The Marathon for a Better Life is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, and all donations are tax-deductible. The organization is also registered with the Charities Bureau.
