“It’s a format that allows novice golfers to play and have fun as well as those more experienced with the game,” says Richardson.  “We encourage our community to come out and enjoy the day while supporting this great cause.”

Tournament proceeds will benefit the Health First Aging Services. Money that is raised will help serve the medical needs and treatments for older adults, providing them with the best medical care possible and helping family members face challenges related to aging and memory disorders.
