East Palestine getting major support from All-World pro golfer Annika Sorenstam
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) -She is known as one of the best women to ever play the game. Annika Sorenstam and her husband will be supporting the community of East Palestine in a big way.
Sorenstam’s husband, Mike McGee, grew up in East Palestine, a community still reeling from the train derailment and environmental disaster that happened on Feb. 3.
The fundraiser by McGee and Sorenstam is titled, “Annika Fore East Palestine.”
“What happened and continues to happen in East Palestine is a tragedy that makes everyone’s heart hurt,” Sorenstam said in a news release from the LPGA. “Mike’s connection to the area brings this suffering right to our doorstep. His first job in high school was at the Lake Club, and my father-in-law was the pro emeritus there after he retired from the Champions Tour.”
Their fundraising website also indicates there will be a golf outing to raise money this spring.
