There will also be a post-tournament banquet for players and a raffle for prizes featuring items donated by local merchants.

The cost of the event is $300 per player or $1,200 per foursome. Sponsorships are available and are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law. Interested players and foursomes of men, women and coed teams are invited to join their family, friends and playing partners for a day of fun, festivities and fundraising for a good cause.
