The State Am tournament banquet at Soangetaha Country Club on
Wednesday night featured many awards and special recognitions. Each
year, the IWGA donates $1,500 to a charitable organization in the
tournament's host city. The Soangetaha local committee presented the
donation to Galesburg's Safe Harbor Crisis Center, a service agency
providing financial assistance to individuals and families in
domestic violence situations. In its history, the IWGA has
contributed over $900,000 through funds raised in its Victory
Tournaments.
IWGA President Ellen Boeye also announced several opening-day
award winners. Marisa Milligan was the medalist, and Jessica
Parmenter of Peoria was junior medalist. Eastern Illinois University
teammates Carrie Riordan and Michelle Anderson won the low net team
trophy, and Barb Empson was the recipient of the Young at Heart
award.

About IWGA
Founded in 1933, the IWGA is an all-volunteer organization
devoted to advancing golf opportunities for the women and girls of
Illinois by conducting state championship tournaments and through
fundraising to support charitable contributions to individual and
organizations that embody the spirit of amateur golf.
In addition to running three state championship tournaments each
year, the all-volunteer association, through its charitable giving,
actively supports women's golf teams in Illinois public colleges,
the Evans Scholars Fund, programs for veterans and the Susan G.
Komen Fund. Annually, the association awards the Julia Dodds
Scholarship to an outstanding junior golfer. Funding for these and
other charitable contributions comes primarily from clubs and
associations sponsoring an annual Victory Tournament. Grants totaled
more than $24,000 in 2005.
Board members' names, past tournament results and entry forms are
