Tahoe Douglas Rotary Club holds new fundraising ball drop and golf tournament

Tahoe Douglas Rotary Club is hosting its new Charity Cup Golf Tournament Fundraiser this coming Saturday, June 25 at Genoa Lakes Golf Club.

To close out the shotgun format tournament there will be a Helicopter Golf Ball Drop. The helicopter will drop all sponsored golf balls above a designated course hole. The closest sponsored golf ball to the hole will win a week’s condo stay in Hawaii and $500.

The public has an opportunity to sponsor golf balls right up till Saturday morning, either in person, online or direct through a Rotary Club Member. Sponsor one golf ball for $20, three golf balls for $50, or eight golf balls for $100.

“It’s going to be a fun day of golf and fellowship," said Tournament Coordinator Cyndy Gulis. "In addition to our helicopter ball drop finale we’ll have pro shop prizes for our closest to the pin, longest and straightest drive competitions, and golfers will get a chance to win a new car with the Michael Hohl-in-One Challenge. Golfers also receive breakfast burritos, box lunches, and an exciting swag bag of goodies."

“Tahoe Douglas Rotary is an annual hands-on supporter of a number of local community nonprofits,” said incoming Club President Paul Thibodeau. "While one of our primary fundraising efforts is targeted to our student scholarships program, we’ve provided a number of grants to the SLT Boys and Girls Club, Bread and Broth, Tahoe Youth & Family Services, Live Violence Free, Tahoe Arts Project, Live Violence Free, Douglas County Search & Rescue and others."

Rotary’s Charity Cup golf tournament begins at 9 a.m. with registration, breakfast and range availability starting at 7:30 a.m. For information, golf ball sponsorships or to play in the June 25th Charity Cup Tourney go to RotaryCharityCup.com, or email CharityGolfInfo@TDRotary.com.
