Help drive out hunger at the inaugural Fall Harvest Golf Classic! The tournament takes place Saturday, October 19th at the Dayton Valley Golf Course.
Hosted by Js’ Old Town Bistro and Duncan Golf Management, all proceeds benefit the Dayton Food Pantry, part of the Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon and Storey Counties.
The Dayton Food Pantry provides food to more than 500 people a month, more than half of which are children and seniors. The Pantry also provides weekend meals to more than 200 school children through its Backpack Program.
HCC Executive Director Wendy Madson says those numbers are going up.
“With the rising cost of housing in our area, we are seeing an increase in the number of people needing help putting food on the table. Fortunately, local grocers offer the HCC reduced prices so the money raised will go a long way to feed those in need this year.”
Madsen adds, “We are hoping this tournament will raise enough money to get us through the holiday season.”
The four-person scramble begins with a shotgun start at 9:30. The $120 entry fee includes a light breakfast, lunch and a tournament hat. Prizes for both net and gross scores will be awarded. Golfers can also purchase a special package of mulligans, drink tokens and raffle tickets.
“The golf tournament is a wonderful opportunity to support our neighbors and have some friendly competitive fun at the same time. We are so thankful to our community businesses, partners and tournament hosts for supporting our efforts” Madsen said.
Sign up forms are available at Js’ Old Town Bistro in Dayton, The Dayton Valley Golf Course, Community Roots in Dayton, and the Cracker Box in Carson City. Sponsorship packages, including hole sponsorships are also available.
