We continue to find ways to create value for our golfers and sponsors and this raffle is an additional feature this year.

 

Even if you cannot be on the golf course you can help our cause.  The I Pad being raffled off is a prize only for the online ticket buyers, and will be kept separate from the tickets purchased on Monday, Sept. 30.
