The GLO Family Foundation Golf Tournament

In 2021, Rick Nordman unexpectedly lost his wife of 12 years…Giovanna Nordman. Gia was a mother of 2 (Ethan and Nicolas), a sister to 6 siblings and a close friend to many. She had a positive impact on everyone she met personally and professionally. Her passing left a hole in everyone’s hearts and lives which needed to be filled.

Initially, a family member set-up a GoFundMe account to establish a scholarship fund for her children. Then, in the Spring of 2021, the first Memorial Golf Tournament in her name was held in order to bring together family/friends/co-workers in support of this scholarship fund….And the GLO Family Foundation was formed. GLO stands for Gia Lives On and has a mission to not only benefit Gia’s children’s education, but also help other families in our community that may be going through a crisis.

Each year, on the first Monday in May, we hold our Annual Memorial Golf Tournament at MacGregor Downs Country Club in Cary, NC with ALL PROCEEDS benefiting the scholarship fund and also Ethan’s school (East Cary Middle School) where he is currently a student. The love and sense of community at this event is like no other and it reaffirms that Gia will continue to Live On in our lives as well as be a positive influence in our community forever.

This event would not be possible without the players, volunteers, sponsorships, donations and love from this community. Rick is beyond grateful for everyone’s support and he’s committed to making everyone’s participation a rewarding experience and a great success in hopes that your involvement will become an annual tradition. Please reach out to Rick Nordman at 919-971-6341 or southernsnowman@gmail.com for volunteer and sponsorship opportunities.
