Charity Organization-Boys & Girls Club
Each player is asked to bring a gift to be placed under the tree for a needy child. These gifts will personally be dropped after after the tournament by the tournament staff and its organizers. There will be a silent auction with all proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club on Friday night.
Would you like to be a sponsor for this event? Please contact tournament staff to learn more about how you can help out the Boys and Girls Club.
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids.
