2011 Chip! Sets Record with 33 Teams
A great time was had by all at Langdon Farms Golf Course on Friday, June 24th, 2011 as a field of 33 teams of golfers enjoyed a day on the course to benefit the Tooth Taxi mobile dental van. Thanks to our generous sponsors and players, over $58,550 was raised to support important DFO programs like the Tooth Taxi.
The day started with early registration and breakfast, sponsored by Willamette Dental. Mitsue Steward, Practice Manager for Willamette Dental, warmly greeted golfers at the breakfast and directed players to “find their swing” at the Columbia Community Bank Driving Range. The group teed off promptly at 7:45 starting at one of the many holes sponsored by a wide range of companies that support dentistry and the DFO.

The team of Dr. Rick Asai, Tracy Broder, Dr. Steve Thurn and Carl Asai shot a blistering 57 to win the Low Gross Prize.
And Andrew Mckechnie, Jared Siegel, Eric Dahm, and Dan Polzin won the Low Net Prize with a score of 53.
Dr. Weston Heringer, Jr., the original Tooth Taxi dentist and DFO board member, spoke during the awards luncheon and described the great work the Tooth Taxi was doing helping underserved children throughout Oregon. He told the story of one patient who was treated on the van, and subsequently was helped by a number of local dentists in the community who provided complex and follow-up care.
DFO Executive Director, Charlie LaTourette, and DFO Board Member, Amy Benson, RDH drew raffle tickets and announced the prizes won by many of the players in the audience. In fact, over $8,000 in prizes were handed out to players during the raffle for exciting prizes including weekend getaways, gift certificates, an Apple Itouch, golf packages, white water rafting trips, theatre tickets and dinner and hotel packages to name a few.
