Annual Laurelhurst Golf Tournament Monday to Raise Funds for North Playground


Don't miss the Fourth Annual Laurelhurst Golf Tournament at Sand Point Country Club coming up next Monday, September 20th starting at 12:30pm.

This annual fundraiser specifically helps to raise funds to renovate the playgrounds at Laurelhurst Elementary School.

And with the South playground completed in June of last year and the kids really enjoying it, this year funds from the tournament will again go towards renovating the North playground.

The  playground project website says "The renovation of the south playground at Laurelhurst has provided much needed improvements and unique opportunities for physical activity and play to a wide-range of children and families in the community who will use the space year-round.

"Our efforts our now focused on the similarly dilapidated north playground - which is used primarily by the younger children in Laurelhurst School as well as the LASER students on a daily basis."

Last year there was a great turn-out at the Third Annual Golf Tournament which raised more than $5,000 to go towards much needed funds for the North Playground.

Kevin and Rick, co-chairs of the event, tell us that they are "doing well with sponsorships, but currently are in need of more golfers."

The $200/player fee includes a boxed lunch, 18 holes of golf at private Sand Point Country Club, cart, prizes, contests, dinner and tons of fun with new and old friends.

The co-chairs said they are looking for hole/contest sponsors as well as volunteers willing to help during the day of golf.
