On Wednesday August 5th, The Oregonian and OregonLive.com held a golf tournament at Langdon Farms in Wilsonville, OR. This was a customer appreciation event for the local automotive advertisers and in recognition of the Metro Portland New Car Dealers Association. The event included 18 holes of golf, dinner and tournament prizes.

For the first time, The Oregonian added a charitable component to this event and chose Shriners Hospital Portland as the beneficiary. The hospital staff was pleased to accept a check for $3,460 presented by Ed Merrick, Classified Advertising Manager and Jean Reger, Retail Advertising Manager of The Oregonian.
