What is OSIAW?
History: The “Oh Shit It’s Almost Winter!” golf outing was held 20 times between 1997 and 2018. Always in October. During that time the event grew to over 125 participants and raised about $100,000 for the ALS Association of DC/MD/VA.
Warning: If you are in need of positive affirmation, awards. prizes, free stuff and other nonsense this event is not for you. OSIAW is about fun and raising money. That’s it.
Today ” Oh Sweet It’s Actually Warm!” is our theme this year. It’s been a long winter for everyone so let’s get out in the sunshine and have some fun.
Limited Networking Opportunities
No customers allowed so don’t plan on showing up here to poach other people’s customers. Just have fun with your competitors and your co workers (who will likely be your competitors soon enough).
Support for a Great Cause
This year we are raising money for Blood Cancer United to support our brother Eddie Augustine’s fundraising efforts. See more about Eddie here:
