CHARITABLE BENEFICIARY
For the past eight years, the tournament has raised money for the Hospice of
Charleston Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides support to the
terminally ill and their families. Last year, $30,000 was presented to the HOC
at the Buffet Dinner, bringing the total gift over past years to over $147,000. Please
consider gifting to the Hospice of Charleston Foundation by noting your donation
on the entry form. Our social events this year will feature prizes, games, and a
Live and Silent Auction to be held at our brand new Island House facility. We are
proud to be able to allow this wonderful tournament to benefit such a worthy cause.
We encourage you to consider joining us in these fund-raising efforts.
It is a win-win situation!
