Midlands Community Foundation will host its 34th annual golf tournament at Platteview Country Club on Monday, May 18, with a shotgun start at 12, noon. The event will conclude with a steak dinner and awards ceremony following golf.
Pat Sullivan of Adams & Sullivan will chair the event this year. Proceeds for the tournament will continue to endow the Children in Crisis Field of Interest Fund created by the golf committee in 2010. The fund, over time, will create opportunities for many nonprofit organizations that help children in our community. Unlike one-time donations to specific organizations, Field of Interest Funds continue to grow and support the particular field of interest year after year. All contributions to a Field of Interest Fund are added to the principal of the fund and continue to benefit the intended charitable cause into the future. At the tournament on May 18, the golf committee will present grants from this fund to nonprofit organizations helping our local children.
Sponsorship opportunities are available. The $125 participant registration fee includes golf, sack lunch, two chances to win a $250 Scheels gift card in a putting contest, two mulligans, two complimentary beverages and ice cream, and steak dinner.
