Dear Community Partner,
I would like to personally invite you and your company to participate in the 2015 Herb’s Paint & Body/Down
Syndrome Guild Golf Classic. This 9th annual tournament will be one that you will not want to miss! Two
separate golf tournaments with over 25 years combined successes are once again partnering to raise funds that will
allow the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas to carry out their mission of providing accurate and current
information, resources, and support for people with Down syndrome, their families, and the community. The
Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas will be the beneficiary of all proceeds of the tournament, expanding their impact
in the community.
Herb’s Paint & Body is a family of auto repair businesses founded in 1956. Herb Walne started his business with
a Humble Gas Station located in Northeast Dallas. Herb soon added a full-service paint and body shop that has
become an icon in and around the Dallas area. Today, customer service is still their number one concern as well
as giving back to the community. Currently, there are six full-service Herb’s Paint & Body shops in the Dallas
metro area.
The Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas is the only local non-profit organization exclusively dedicated to providing
resources and support to people with Down syndrome. Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal
condition in our country, and more than 2,700 families in our Dallas community have been directly impacted. For
more than 35 years, the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas has given hope and assistance to these families, mostly
on a volunteer basis. The organization has led the charge, but needs your financial support.
There are various ways for you to become involved in the 2015 Herb’s Paint & Body/Down Syndrome Guild
Golf Classic, and a folder outlining a variety of sponsorship/underwriting opportunities is enclosed. Your
generous support will make a big difference in the lives of individuals and families touched by Down syndrome.
Over the years, these tournaments have grown individually, and 2015 promises to be a fantastic year as we
continue to partner together! We’re excited to be at Canyon Creek Country Club again this year. The Herb’s
Paint & Body/Down Syndrome Guild Golf Classic is sure to become a traditional part of many spring calendars.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Best Regards,
Ryan Palmer, PGA Tour Professional
2015 Honorary Chairman
