Rotary Club of Powell River Sunrise is reviving a charity golf tournament at Myrtle Point Golf Club on Sunday, June 10, starting at 1 pm. The Texas Scramble event is the first of its kind in several years, according to director of golf operations Kelvin Trott.
“We used to have a Rotary tournament here years ago, so it’s great to get them back,” he said.
Tickets are $100 per person and money raised will go toward supporting many local Rotary charity initiatives.
“All funds raised will go to supporting a variety of programs in the Powell River community,” said tournament organizer Vivica Watson. “These include youth programs, food banks, sea and air cadets, and Grace House for women, to name a few.”
Aside from golf, there will be food stations out on the course, a silent auction and prizes for hole-in-one, highest and lowest score and best-dressed participants.
Some prizes up for grabs include a trip to Mexico, front row tickets to Seattle Seahawks and Vancouver Whitecaps games and golfing privileges at Predator Ridge Resort in Vernon. Participants engaging in some friendly competition for a good cause is one of the hopes for the tournament, said Trott.
“It’s a fun event and it would be good to get businesses competing against businesses,” he said.
