Leland Area Rotary Holds 7th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

The Wells Fargo PGA golf tournament was not the only high profile event going on in our area – at least that’s what the members of the Leland Area Rotary Club say.  They hosted the club’s 7^th annual charity tournament on April 27 at Brunswick Forest’s challenging Cape Fear National Golf Course.  This year’s tournament has exceeded the number of players with 119 signed up to hit the links and support a fund raising effort that will bring in much welcomed funds to the Club.

Funds such as these raised at the Club’s annual Golf Classic make it possible to provide assistance to international and local organizations.  Recently the Club donated $10,000 to Brunswick Senior Resources to help fund the kitchen construction at the new Brunswick Center in Leland.  That facility will be used to create homemade Meals on Wheels food parcels as well as hearty lunches for the area’s needy elderly.  Funds have also been, and will continue to be, used for the Computers for Kids program, Matthews Ministry weekend food Backpacks for children, CART Alzheimer’s Research, West Virginia flood relief, local scholarships and much more.

Sponsors  of the event included Mainscape Landscape Solutions, Raymond James® - Jon Tait, CFP, Gold, Carolina Shores Car Wash, Disaster One Restoration Services and IronWord Press represented by author Judith Sanders.
