Due to last year’s overwhelming response, we are looking to partner with local businesses or individuals again this year. With a $100 donation, you can sponsor a hole on the course. You may do this with your business name, “in memory of” or “in honor of.” Last year, we had individuals pool their donations and give as a small group. This donation will be used to benefit the local affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, as well as to help defray costs of the tournament.
