The 7th Annual Greg McCray Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Friday, October 20 to raise money for after-school services for hundreds of the community’s most vulnerable kids. The golf outing will support the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Big Bend (BGCBB), which is celebrating its 25th Anniversary of serving youth and saving lives.
The event will be held at the Capital City Country Club and will kick-off with a shotgun start at 8:30 am. During the tournament, golfers will have the opportunity to compete for longest drive, closest to the pin and a hole in one for a new car. A luncheon and award ceremony will be held following the tournament. Legacy Toyota, a longtime supporter of BGCBB is this year’s tournament presenting sponsor.
At $550 per foursome, or $150 per golfer, the tournament will offer a fun-filled day for a worthwhile cause. “Thanks to the generosity of the community, proceeds from the event will ensure no child is ever turned away from the program because of a family’s inability to pay,” said BGCBB CEO, Lee Wagner. “The charity event makes it possible for our kids to have a fun, safe place to learn and grow with hope and opportunity for their future.” For more information about the golf tournament or to become a sponsor or register to play, please go online at bgcbb.org or contact the BGCBB Office of Development at (850) 656-8100.
