The organizing committee has worked very hard again this year to ensure a fun and exciting Golf tournament.

Opportunities for Contribution:

At the registration and during the day, you can also purchase raffles tickets to win some amazing prizes, or bid on the auction items (all-inclusive catamaran trip & golf trips to Curacao and Arizona, to name a few).  This year, we will once again host the Ball-Drop event, which will take place during the evening reception. For this, you can purchase balls assigned to your name for $20, with the hope of being the winner of a grand prize!
