Nick Selhorst: “A heads-up would’ve been nice.”

At last week’s annual Sidney Charity Cup, clients and friends of Choice One gathered for a mini-golf competition in support of a great cause. Teams navigated a delightfully chaotic course while raising funds for the Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association (MVDSA) and the Ronald McDonald House at Dayton Children’s. Thanks to Choice One’s experience with a golf simulator last year, the COEC team wisely stuck to caddying duties, where damage to scores could be kept to a minimum. Mostly.

While every team came ready to make a difference, one team also came to prove that charity pairs well with cheetah print. Jill Rhoades, Sheri Green, and Christy Butera from the City of Troy arrived sporting matching cheetah print shoes and accessories—and even offered to share a matching cardigan with their Choice One caddy, Nick Selhorst. Unfortunately, Nick’s concerns over his proven spill record kept the cardigan out of play, leaving him wishing he’d had advance notice of the cheetah-print theme.

While the Troy team didn’t take home the Charity Cup—that honor went to Sugarcreek Township (pictured below)—they more than delivered on fun. At the end of the day, the event successfully raised enough donations to fund the MVDSA’s Summer Family Picnic and to support the Ronald McDonald House. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Sidney Charity Cup and for helping prove that giving back (like cheetah print) never goes out of style.
