Eddie's Promise

EDDIE PASSOV MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
Sunday, September 3, 2017 – Sedona Golf Resort
All proceeds benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Program

EDDIE PASSOV MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
Eddie Passov was a beloved member of the Sedona community for over 20 years. He died unexpectedly last November at age 77. Eddie was both an avid golfer and a true humanitarian! When he wasn’t playing golf or performing his role as a starter at Sedona Golf Resort, he was busy devoting his incredible energy to helping others. His family recently established Edd

ie’s Promise as a way to keep Eddie’s commitments to the causes so dear to him. Our inaugural fundraiser for Eddie’s Promise is a charity golf tournament at Sedona Golf Resort on September 3, 2017 to benefit the children of the Verde Valley through books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Through his role in Rotary, Eddie was introduced to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library book program. The Rotary Clubs of Sedona, Sedona Red Rocks and the Verde Valley are leading a charge to raise the funds to send FREE books to every preschool child who lives in the Verde Valley communities. ABOUT IMAGINATION LIBRARY:
We are thrilled that the three local Rotary chapters are leading this program to send free books to preschool children who live in the Verde Valley communities. Children registered in the program receive an age-appropriate book every month in the mail from the Imagination Library collection. The only requirements are that the child resides in the Verde Valley and is between the ages of zero and five. The country music singer, Dolly Parton, created the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in 1996. Today over 1,000,000 children in four countries are registered in the program. Books that are distributed are selected by a panel of noted educators and early childhood development specialists to help promote a passion for reading and learning. Follow-up studies have shown that the program has a meaningful impact on the preparedness of children entering kindergarten. Since the program started in Sedona in 2012, expanded to Beaver Creek School District in 2015 and the entire Verde Valley in 2016, hundreds of children have been receiving books in the mail through the program. Currently, over 1,200 children receive a book every month.
