Golfer sponsors needed

The 13th annual Longest Day of Golf will be held on June 21, 2018, at Tahoe Paradise Golf Course and will be raising funds for the South Lake Tahoe Cancer League.

Participants spend hours on the course, from sun-up to sun-down, or however long they can last, earning money for every hole they golf. During the 2017 event they raised $10,000 and this year's goal is to have golfers play over 135 holes and raise $12,000 to help the SLT Cancer League help locals with the disease.

The event is sponsored by the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge #1632, and Harrah's and Harveys Casino Resorts, and Tahoe Paradise Golf Course donates the use of their course and golf carts for the golfers. Holiday Market and Blue Dog Gourmet Pizza contribute the food for the golfers.

The Moose Lodge is looking for donations to sponsor the golfers. Any business or member of the public can donate to sponsor a particular golfer or the event in general. Pledges may be made at a set level, or per hole played.

If you are interested in making a pledge, please fill out the pledge form and give it to the golfer of your choice, or return it to the Moose Lodge, attention Mary. The Moose Lodge is open Monday through Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and weekends from noon to 6:00 p.m. You may also donate through the Cancer League FaceBook page through the Shop Now PayPal button. Please indicate it is for this event.

The South Lake Tahoe Cancer League was founded nearly forty years ago to help local cancer patients. The nonprofit is operated entirely by volunteers, with no paid staff. The Cancer League provides transportation for cancer patients to their treatment to fight the disease, at no charge to the family or the patient. The Cancer League also gives financial assistance grants to help the patients with a gift of funds to help with the cost of medications, or living expenses while the patient is fighting cancer.
