A lucky golfer may be taking home a brand new car from the ninth annual Humane Society Golf Tournament scheduled for Wednesday, September 6 at Scotch Valley Country Club.
Tournament organizer Dan Lawruk said in a previous Daily Herald article that fees for the event include golf and a cart, refreshments on the course, lunch, an awards banquet with hors d’oeuvres, locker room facilities, a long drive prize, closest to the pin prize, a putting contest and the awarding of a new car for a hole in one. In addition, the event will offer many door prizes.
The tournament will include a special appearance by Mrs. Pennsylvania, Joyelle Scavone. Also participating in the tournament is a “media all-star” team that consists of WTAJ-TV Chief Meteorologist Joe Murgo, Q-94 morning DJ and Program Director Adam Erickson, WJAC-TV news anchor Marty Radovanic and Altoona Curve General Manager Todd Parnell.
Major sponsors of the benefit outing include Pepsi, Subway and M & T Bank, with dozens of other area businesses contributing.
The cost is a $440 entry fee for a 4-person team. Individuals can sign up for $110. Tee sponsorships are $100 and greens can be sponsored for $75 and are still available to local businesses and individuals. For $25, non-participants can attend the awards ceremonies with hors’doeuvres.
The event will begin with a shotgun start at 12:30 with a scramble format.
According to CPHS records, last year’s event drew over 20 teams that competed in the event which raised nearly $10,000 to help the homeless animals at the Humane Society.
