And what a beautiful day in the jungle it was! The Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation and PNC Bank, in collaboration with Operation Shower, hosted a group baby shower for military moms-to-be on Sunday, October 1, 2023, at the Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville. The expectant mothers are active-duty military or the spouses or partners of deployed Marines, sailors, airmen, or soldiers.
The shower is a signature event of PGA TOUR Champions’ 2023 Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS Presented by Circle K, as part of the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation’s 10-year support for Operation Shower. In addition to PNC, support for the event was provided by Chicco, the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation, and Circle K.
“Welcome To The Jungle”-themed event featured a catered lunch, raffle prizes, and the distribution of Operation Shower’s signature “Showers In A Box,” which included gifts of high-quality products for mothers and babies generously donated by the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation, as well as companies including Chicco, The Alycat Series, Delta Children’s, Natural Life and Diaper Genie.
Everyone had a great time with PNC’s North Florida Regional President Chris Kalin and Client and Community Relations Director Karen Feagins co-hosted and served as emcees of the event. Guests played table games which made it easy to get to know one another and make new friends. It was such a heartwarming day!
“We are honored to join the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation and Operation Shower in expressing our immeasurable appreciation to these courageous military moms-to-be for their service and sacrifice on behalf of our country,” said Kalin. “Through this event, we hope to help spread joy and gratitude to these extraordinary women for everything they do at home and on the front lines.”
“For more than a decade, Jim and I have seen first-hand the difference that Operation Shower makes for military members and their families. The look on the moms’ faces as they are pampered with gifts and shown true appreciation and support is incredible at every Operation Shower event that we host,” said Tabitha Furyk. “We are humbled to honor the sacrifice that these men and women make to serve our country with Operation Shower and several other initiatives at the Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS presented by Circle K.”
