A message from Grace’s mom:

Hello! What an incredible day! The 2nd Annual Boots and Hearts Golf Classic was a huge success, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather, a better venue, or a better turnout.

Thanks to your incredible support, we raised $46,100 for Cook Children’s PICU-double what we donated last year!

We truly couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you! It really does take a village, and we’re so grateful to have such an AMAZING one!

We’re already looking forward to next year and can’t wait to have you join us again. Be sure to mark your calendars for the 3rd Annual Boots and Hearts Golf Classic on Saturday, September, 13, 2025.

With a heartfelt thanks, Melissa Russell
