We have our golf tournament coming up in June and it will help our animals, so golfers, mark your calendars!
It’s in memory of Mike Krugh, a CVAS board member who passed away far too soon and worked hard every year to put together a golf tournament for our animals. Mike adored his dogs and I loved the stories he would tell me about them.
This year’s golf tournament will be on June 5 at the Cumberland Golf Club, 2395 Ritner Highway, in Carlisle.
Registration will begin at 7:15 a.m. with a shot gun start at 8 for the foursome scramble.
It’s an 18-hole Par 72 course that stretches over 6,900 yards of beautifully maintained terrain that offers a blend of challenge and charm for golfers of all skill levels.
The fees are $95 per player or $350 if you register a foursome. The fee includes golf, cart, goodie bag, team photos, luncheon and prizes.
Lunch will be provided by Maddie Ann’s Kitchen.
Prizes will be awarded at the end of the event.
We also have a special contest prize hole. Get this – the first person to get a hole in one at this specific hole will win a Pebble Beach golf vacation trip. I’m not even kidding about this. How amazing would that be?
We still have a variety of sponsorship opportunities available for our golf tournament, including hole sponsors. If you have a beloved family member – two-legged or four-legged – you would like to honor or if you would like to get the name of your business out on the greens, a hole sponsorship would be a great idea. For $150 you can sponsor a hole, which will include a sign that all the golfers can see.
We are also looking for other sponsors, including golf cart co-sponsors, water bottle sponsors as well as others. They are a great way to have a lot of people see your name or your business.
The more sponsorships we get, the more money we’ll ultimately make for our animals. So if you’re interested in a sponsorship opportunity, check out the golf tournament information on our website, cvas-pets.org or call the shelter at (717) 263-5791.
Proceeds from the golf tournament will benefit the animals in our kennels and help us care for them every day. As of this writing, we have more almost 300 cats and more than 70 dogs in our care. It takes a lot to look after them and our golf tournament will help make sure we can.
So, if you have some friends who love to golf, please set aside June 5 for a game. For more information, contact Todd Willman at [email protected]. To sign up as a golfer or sponsor, check out all the information at www.cvas-pets.org.
And make sure to mark your calendars and dig out those clubs for our golf tournament on Friday, June 5, at the Cumberland Golf Club and we’ll see you on the greens to help our animals!
