This is accomplished by asking friends, family, and co-workers to sponsor their team. Why not set a team goal of $500, $700, or $1,000? Together we can reach this year's tournament goal of $15,000. Your entry fee will cover your cart, green fees, lunch and will provide you with multiple opportunities to win prizes. Your efforts on behalf of abortion-vulnerable women and their unborn children are greatly appreciated!!
