The WCSD is once again organizing a charity golf tournament to be held at Jackson Valley Golf Club on Saturday, June 3, 2023. The tournament has always supported food programs that provide extra support to students who need help. Proceeds from this golf outing will be deposited in a charitable fund at the Community Foundation of Warren County that supports those needs.
The tournament will be a traditional scramble format that will include greens fees, cart, dinner, Chinese auction, hole prizes, and drawings for items such as a CoolShot Rangefinder, Yeti Tumblers, ProV1 Golf Balls, Outdoor Gas Griddle, Fire TV Stick/Echo Dot, 55” TV, AirPods with Charging Case, Bose Soundlink Speaker, and more.
We need your help this year. The tournament was on hiatus for several years and is being done with very short notice, so any help you can lend us in registering a foursome would be greatly appreciated. The same goes for sponsors; if you can help us get interested sponsors signed up, we can have a more successful outing overall!
Visit the links below if you are interested in playing and/or being a sponsor!
