https://birdease.com/MarkKlineMemorialGolfOuting Mark was well liked and respected by customers and competitors alike, as he was a man of great integrity and fierce loyalty. He was also a true ch
ampion for United States’ service veterans and our Armed Forces. It was a sad day in the winter of 2017 when Mark went home to be with his Lord. Mark was too valued as a friend to allow his passing to occur without notice or special recognition, so his good friend Kim Snodgrass committed in the summer of 2018 to organize The Mark R. In Mark’s honor, we knew any funds that were raised needed to go to a veterans’ group, and Mark’s widow shared that Mark’s new passion was Blinded Veterans Association. (This group has been in existence since WWII, and exists solely to assist any visually impaired veteran in the United States). In July 2018, with limited funds, a few sponsors, and no real idea what we were doing, the first annual Mark R. Kline Outing occurred and thanks to our incredible attendees. Through the Grace of God, and despite COVID, we were not only able to host the July 2020 third year event, (and enjoy phenomenal weather as we have every year) but we increased sponsorship and had fifty-two players attend. A grand total of $ 20,000.00 raised for Blinded Veterans Association in three years. This event is ongoing. Many first year attendees are still coming back, and many bring in friends, neighbors, and relatives as new foursomes. It is always held the last Saturday in July, and is played at a course Mark loved, Loyal Oak Golf Course in Norton, Ohio. We actively solicit donations and players. We are still providing breakfast snacks and coffee, lunch, and dinner as part of the festivities. Help us to continue to honor Mark Kline and support the Blind Veterans Association by participating in the 2021 Mark R.
