GREENVILLE–Preparations for the 41st Annual Annie Oakley Golf Tournament are underway.
This event is held each year in July with proceeds given to the Cancer Association of Darke County to benefit local cancer patients. Committee members for the tournament are Scott and Lisa Frens, Jack and Kay Sloat, Larry Ullery and Gloria Martin, Ed and Kay Curry, Tom Bernhard, Trudy Eastland and Christine Lynn.
Last year’s tournament was successful and the event raised $18,000.00 for the Cancer Association of Darke County. This fundraiser helped the association to provide benefits to more than 250 Darke County residents battling cancer. These benefits were provided in the form of reimbursement for medications, transportation, medical supplies and nutritional supplements such as Ensure.
This year’s tournament is scheduled for July 24 at the Turtle Creek Golf Course and will feature a shotgun start with scramble format, chances to win prizes and dinner for the golfer and his/her guest. Most importantly, the proceeds from this fun and exciting event will once again benefit the local and independent Cancer Association of Darke County.
Lunch will be served at 11:15 a.m. with tee off time scheduled for 12:15 p.m. Each golfer has the opportunity to win $32,500 toward a new car for a hole-in-one on the 6th and 17th hole.
Other hole-in-one prizes will be awarded for a hole in one on the 8th and 11th holes.
Additional information is available at the Cancer Association of Darke County (937-548-9960 or EMAIL: [email protected] ) or from any tournament committee member.
“Thank you in advance for your support of this worthy community cause,” Lynn said.
