ather than the Seven Plagues of Egypt on Thursday, May 18, 2006, participants in the 10th Annual
BoileRx Golf Outing endured the Five Plagues of Indiana: rain, hail, high winds, thunder, and
lightning. In spite of the weather, a record total of 168 golfers participated in the event which raised
over $20,000 in funds for Pharmacy Scholarships. All contestants, sponsors, and volunteers came
away a bit damp on the outside, but satisfied inside that the day was still enjoyable and a huge success.
Many thanks go to the Purdue Pharmacy Alumni Association volunteers, as well as volunteers
from The Chao Center for Industrial Pharmacy and Contract Manufacturing and the School of
Pharmacy faculty and staff, for guiding golfers to and from the course throughout the afternoon
as the pop-up storms came through. The 2006 BoileRx was again sponsored by The Chao Center.
The day began with boxed lunches provided by Kroger Company and then a mad dash to the carts
to get in at least one hole of golf before the first wave of bad weather. Then it was back to the Voinoff
Pavilion to watch and wait. Shortly thereafter, golfers filed back to the carts to pick up where they
had left off. This scene was repeated several times throughout the afternoon, resulting in quite a bit
of jockeying and jocularity.
Even the heartiest golfers admitted that nine holes was sufficient for the day as they lined up for
a delicious dinner of “chicken on the barbie” and all the trimmings graciously sponsored by Tyco/
Mallinckrodt. Following dinner, the 2nd annual BoileRx post-golf auction began. Al Goetz presided as
auctioneer and was the highlight of the evening. Through his efforts and the generosity of the donors
who provided the auction items, nearly $3,000 additional dollars were raised for scholarships.
