House of Hope calls for golfers, sponsors

PRESS RELEASE DATE: MARCH 19, 2009

House of Hope is seeking players and sponsors for its 14th Annual Golf Tournament of Hope at The Yacht & Country Club of Stuart on Friday, April 17.

This annual event enables House of Hope to raise needed funds while participants enjoy a well-organized round of golf on one of Martin County’s best courses. 

The cost of the event is $500 per foursome, or $150 per player. Play will begin with a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m. on April 17. The format of the Tournament of Hope is a four-person modified scramble, with men’s and ladies’ divisions.

In addition to the golfing, the entry fee includes a box lunch and an awards reception with hors d’oeuvres, great prizes and auction items. Participants will also have the chance to win a hole-in-one prize of a golf cart donated by Professional Golf Car Corp.

The success of this golf fund-raiser is more important than ever. Over the past two years, House of Hope has seen an 80% increase in requests for emergency help from struggling families, single parents, senior citizens and veterans. The proceeds from this event will help House of Hope change lives by helping with the most basic human needs – food, shelter and clothing – for scores of Martin County residents in need of temporary assistance.

Tournament of Hope committee members include Marty Carmody, Frank Doyle, Bob Berg, Charlie D’Agata and Doni Haas.
