Kelly
Gibson receives prestigious Bartlett Award at the Master's
HOUSTON (Jan. 9, 2006) - Louisiana natives
Kelly Gibson, Hal Sutton and David Toms, who rolled their sleeves up and
raised a combined $2-plus million to aid of thousands of Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita victims and disaster workers, have been honored with the Golf
Writers Association of America's Charlie Bartlett Award.
The award, named for the first secretary of the GWAA, is given to a professional
golfer for his/her unselfish contributions to the betterment of society.
Through his Feed The Relief Inc., organization (www.feedtherelief.org)
, Gibson has fed more than 50,000 first-responders, including New Orleans
doctors and nurses, firefighters and policemen, the 82nd Airborne Division,
the Coast Guard and the Joint Operations staffs. Gibson, who lives in
New Orleans, had the effort up and running within the first week after
the 
disaster
and has raised more than $400,000 to fund the catering.
When relief officials asked how he was able to mobilize his effort so
quickly, Gibson said, "I just didn't take no for an answer.''
