On Monday a golf outing and after party was held to raise funds for Janie’s Big Dream. Organized by Janie’s family, Guppy’s Good Times and Spamps, the event attracted 95 golfers to Jeffersonville Country Club and even more to the After Party at Spamps. There were even some big names at the event including former SJU Hawk and current NBC star Jameer Nelson, an apparent Hulkamaniac, and Flyers legend Bobby Clarke (both pictured above). Nelson closed out the event by donating $1,000 for a crock pot autographed by Clarke.
