16th Annual CONSOL Energy Golf Outing

It was a beautiful day for hundreds of golfers to hit the links in support of Make-A-Wish at the 16th Annual CONSOL Energy Golf Outing on Saturday, May 19, 2012, at Cedarbrook Golf Course in Belle Vernon, PA.   This year's event is expected to raise even more than last year's $100,143. Make-A-Wish Mascot Stella! tried to get a ride on the back of a golf cart driven by Vice President and Director of Development Barb Becker and CONSOL Supervisor of Warehousing Supply Chain Management Dave Hawk, who has been dedicated to organizing this golf outing from the very beginning to help make children's wishes come true. Some volunteers and organizers of the golf outing pose for a pic. More volunteers sporting Mining Connection shirts.  Mining Connection, LLC was a silver level sponsor of the event.
