Thursday June 21st the 2nd annual “Textile Open” mini-golf fundraiser was held at the American Textile History Museum. The tournament style play was originally developed by avid golfer and Museum President & CEO Jim Coleman and this year’s event was co-hosted by the Museums new neighbor The Sun Charities. The Sun Charities effort was graciously spearheaded by The Sun’s Chairman of the Board, Kendall Wallace.

to the foursome from Butler Bank.
Over 50 players came dressed in sporty golf attire brandishing their favorite putter and were announced US Open style with a bullhorn as they teed off. All the players reported they had a great time on the 18-hole par 72 course that wove its way through the Museum and Sun’s new offices. The champions trophy will be engraved with the name Jeff White a Butler Bank intern who shot a 74 on the tricky layout. Jeff collected the top prize of a new TaylorMade Putter.
Generous hole sponsors for the evening included, Ames Textile Corporation, The Behrakis Foundation, Lowell 5¢ Savings Bank, Trinity Ambulance, Courier Corporation, Middlesex Community College, Loft Properties, Lowell General Hospital, Nancy & Richard Donahue, Enterprise Bank, Mill City Management, Picard Construction, Rath Young & Pignatelli, Sun Charities, Alan Kazanjian, and Kenneth J.
