STATELINE, Nev. – Well known for hosting its annual St. Patrick’s Day Celebration fundraiser at Harrah’s Tahoe for decades, Tahoe Douglas Rotary is betting their inaugural Charity Cup Golf Tournament on June 25 will be just as popular, especially with a closest to the hole contest with golf balls dropped by a helicopter.
“Our membership looked at a number of options,” said current Club President Katie Keith of having a new fundraiser. “It was decided that hosting a unique Charity Cup Golf Tournament with a number of incentives and added fun activities, like dropping sponsored golf balls from a helicopter, would be best and would appeal to the folks who have supported our endeavors over the years.”
The Rotary Charity Cup Golf Tournament will be at Genoa Lakes Golf Club on Saturday, June 25, 2022. The tournament’s Shotgun start is at 9 a.m. with registration, range, and breakfast starting at 7:30 a.m. Entry donation to play in the Charity Cup Tournament and to participate in all activities is $200 per person or $750 for a foursome team.
“It’s going to be a fun day while we’re all supporting Rotary’s numerous community efforts. In addition to breakfast, lunch, and a very cool swag bag, we have great prizes for our closest to the pin, longest and straightest drive competitions,” said the club’s tournament coordinator Cyndy Gulis. “You’ll also get a chance to win a new car with the Michael Hohl-in-One Challenge. Then we’ll end the day with an exciting Helicopter Golf Ball Drop. Closest “sponsored” golf ball to the hole wins a week’s condo stay in Hawaii and some traveling money.”
The cost for one numbered golf ball to be dropped from a helicopter is $20, with three for $50, and eight for $100. To get a golf ball, visit HERE.
In addition to its sponsorship of student scholarships and youth leadership retreats, Tahoe Douglas Rotary has been an annual supporter of a number of community service non-profits including Tahoe Youth & Family Services, the Lake Tahoe Boys and Girls Club, Bread and Broth, Tahoe Arts Project, Douglas County Search & Rescue and many others.
