Mapleview will once again be host to the now famous and fun Golf for Kids event to be held June 14th of this year. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County is now accepting registrations of teams for the event, which is usually a sell out crowd.
This annual event is a significant fundraiser for the agency, which receives no direct, sustainable government support. Funds from this event provide the agency with money to continue its one on one mentoring programs for children.
Registration is $65 per person, and the fee includes a BBQ lunch. The scramble style tournament starts at 8am this year, and is usually over by 3pm. It’s a fun day filled with games, prizes, and a silent auction. Space is limited, so be sure to register early so you are not disappointed.
Hole sponsorship is another way the agency raises funds, and these are available for $100 each. Forms are available on the agency web site or by calling the office.
Many businesses in LanarkCounty supported the event through hole sponsorship, prize and silent auction donations, or putting in teams. “Without local businesses supporting our events, we couldn’t continue with our programming.” says Jennifer Miller, Executive Director for the agency “The whole community rallies behind us, and we truly appreciate the support we receive, whether its for our Golf day, Bowl for Kids, our curling or our dart events. Every dollar raised makes a difference, and it is appreciated.”
To register a team or sponsor a hole, please call the office today at 613-283-0570.
