Golf Outing Shatters All Records

July 18, 2022 by Steve Greene, MD in Blog
Golf Outing Shatters All Records

It was a gorgeous day to remember with an incredible outpouring of support from 91 golfers enjoying the beautiful green, and 180 people in the dinner ballroom celebrating the mission of Hope for Ghana at Westwood Golf Club on Saturday July 16. Kelly Sasso, Emmy Award winning WTAE news anchor, lit up the dinner ballroom with an elegance and energy that brought Hope for Ghana’s event to a new level.

The emotional tone of the evening was set by a video celebrating Hope for Ghana’s vision of hope and opportunity in the most remote villages of Ghana, including its 3 schools, 6 libraries and computer labs, 15 apprentice sponsorships, and provision of clean, potable water in 40 villages.

The emotional highlight of the evening was a live virtual visit with Senyo, Ground Operations Assistant, who eloquently described the challenges in Ghana and the impact of Hope for Ghana in the villages and in his own life. The interview will be most remembered by Senyo as he was surprised with a most deserved promotion to Vice President of Operations.

Senyo’s stirring final message revealed the heart and soul of this young man. “I want to tell you about a philosophy that has blessed my life. That philosophy is that I have learned to give not because I have much, but because I understand how it feels to have nothing.”

Thanks to an outpouring of support from guests, sponsors and donors, Hope for Ghana’s charity event was an enormous success, raising over $51,000. To everyone who was a part of this magnificent day I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this life-saving mission with me and transforming the lives of Ghanaian children and families forever.

“I want to tell you about a philosophy that has blessed my life. That philosophy is that I have learned to give not because I have much, but because I understand how it feels to have nothing.” – Senyo Gbormittah, Vice President of Operations

Inspirational Feedback

You are changing lives with your love and your hope and your financial support. Your life and their lives will never be the same again. And truly if you touch the heart of one person for one second and make a difference in their life, your life had meaning. I feel that if you look in the face of someone "truly" in need and help them in any way, even with a hug or a kind word, you are never the same. And I do believe that is our life's purpose. God is happy with you. You are doing all he asks of us and with kindness and gratitude. He is who we please when "whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you have done unto me." -Michelle Locke, Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you for your role in restoring faith in humanity. -Noorah AlSabah, London, England

Reading each email nearly brings a tear to my eye. Not only the benevolence that you have bestowed but the passion that you have to do more makes you truly a humanitarian. Thank you for continuing your tireless work but also for proving that there are great people in this world doing amazing things for others. Too often that is lost among the stories of prejudice, hate and tragedy. To the people of Ghana, you are saving lives with each drop of water, textbook and block of a schoolhouse. -Aaron Salyards, Pittsburgh, PA

When kids prefer to run to the library during a school break instead of playing with the other kids, when kids are willing to sit on the floor to read in an already overcrowded library during that break, then you know that Hope for Ghana is doing exactly the right thing in that community. -Christian Haasen, Hamburg, Germany

What a magnificent job you are accomplishing. I can't believe what has been done in the weeks you were there. This is why we are here and you have really been inspired to carry on with this work. God bless you and I do pray for you every day that God continues to enlighten you and protect you in this most beautiful project you have undertaken. The children seem so grateful they have Uncle Steve. God bless you and may he hold you in the palm of his hands. -Dee Paiano, Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you for sharing the pictures and videos. Your speech was very touching, sweet and straight from the heart. What you are doing is amazing. Not many people are able to help out as much as they would like to. Thanks to your efforts, you've made it possible for others to help out where they can too. Hope for Ghana is a way for others around the world to pitch in and make a difference for the kids of the future. Thank you for all your hard work. -Ezgi Muderrisoglu, Cork, Ireland

Wow!!! Seeing the pictures, the smiles, the work being done, the bracelet, is extremely touching. It is absolutely incredible what can be accomplished in such a short time when faith, hope and love are involved! -Susan Chikalla, Pittsburgh, PA
