He died tragically in an automobile accident\u00a0 on his way home after working long hours at the Super Show in January of 1995. Randy left behind a wife Jenny, and two small children, Austin and Justin.<\/p>\n<p>Two of Randy\u2019s co workers at IDEAS, Ted Peterson and Rich Johnson, started the RSMGC in August of 1995 in hopes of helping the emotional and financial burden Randy\u2019s death caused his family.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"accordion-title plain\"><button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button><span>When was the RSMGC started?<\/span><\/a><div class=\"accordion-inner\">\n<p>The first event was held at Hidden Hills Country Club in Stone Mountain, GA in August, 1995.\u00a0\u00a0 The event was held at Hidden Hills the first four years (95 \u2013 98) followed by Berkeley Hills Country Club in Duluth, GA in &#8217;99, &#8217;00, &#8217;02, &#8217;03, &#8217;05, &#8217;06, &#8217;07, &#8217;09 and &#8217;10. St. Ives Country Club in Johns Creek, GA hosted the 2011 event, and in 2012 co-hosted with The Standard Club, also located in Johns Creek, GA. Chateau Elan in Braselton, GA hosted the &#8217;01, &#8217;04 and &#8217;08 events and will be the home of the RSMGC in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The first two years the event focused solely on providing support for the Smith family. In 1997 the decision was made to open up the event to other families who had suffered a similar tragedy or faced true hardship. The first additional recipient was Nicole Sheldon, daughter of long time shipping industry veteran Chris Sheldon in Wheaton, IL. Nicole was 8 years old at the time and had recently undergone a heart and liver transplant. She was said to be the \u201csickest child ever to leave a Chicago land hospital alive\u201d Since its inception in 1995, the Randy Smith Memorial Golf Classics and it\u2019s officially sanctioned ancillary events have assisted over 70 families with financial and emotional support. A full list of these previous recipients can be found on this website.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"accordion-title plain\"><button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button><span>Who participates and how can I donate?<\/span><\/a><div class=\"accordion-inner\">\n<p>Everyone is welcome! The RSMGC blankets all segments of the exhibition industry from exhibitors to show managers to general contractors all down the trade show supply chain. One of the many things the\u00a0 founders and the governing board are most proud of is how they\u2019ve been able to bring everyone together for this day of fellowship and good will. Many competing companies in their respective fields have known the Randy as the day they \u201clay down their swords\u201d for the good of the overall cause. Participation can come in many ways from the choice of golf or tennis or the various sponsorship opportunities. We also always are in need of any raffle items or prizes from companies respective marketing closets\u2019.
