This year, 240 people took part in the opening round of golf at the Tunxis Plantation Country Club in Farmington, Connecticut.  An evening gala that included dinner, awards, and silent and live auctions at the nearby Farmington Club, was attended by 420 people. 

Bob Kaufman, co-founder of Manchester, Connecticut-based Bob's, said in a release, "This event is about the children in the communities we serve, and it's a labor of love.  We think it's wonderful that for 27 straight years our employees, vendors, and executive team have enthusiastically supported our commitment to these invaluable nonprofit organizations that help so many children in need."

Gene Rosenberg, PFP co-founder, said, "Over the years, I have been to many of the facilities that support Bob's Kids.  Seeing the smiles on the kids' faces and the joy that it brings them makes this all worthwhile.

This wonderful charity golf outing was started by industry liquidator and sales promotion company Planned Furniture Promotions.  Bob's became an event partner when Kaufman and PFP co-founder, Gene Rosenberg, opened Bob's in 1991.

In addition, Bob's Charitable Foundation donates more than $1.5 million a year in furniture, gift certificates, and money annually to projects that support children in need.
