October 11th was the March of Dimes Bruce Pearl Golf Classic held at Gettysvue Country Club. The weather was amazing and Stephanie Moyers and her team had a few slate of golfers to play. Barry was there to capture the University of Tennessee Basketball Coach. Bruce only supports a few charities and the March of Dimes is proud to have his endorsement. Not sure who took the photo of Barry but we will have to see if we can get autographed!! Thru regstration, corporate sponsors and the silent auction the  golf classic helped raise funds to improve the health of babies.
