Inclusion Moose Jaw is holding a Golf Tournament fundraiser to raise money for its many programs and various initiatives.
On June 14th, Inclusion Moose Jaw will be hosting the golf tournament at the Ridge Golf Club Par 3 in Moose Jaw starting at 12:30 pm, followed by live entertainment and a chili dinner at 4:30 pm.
The day’s activities include your regular 18-holes of golf, skill events, a chili dinner, live entertainment by Bonnie and the Jets, and a 50/50 draw with loads of door prizes. Additionally, there is a $20,000 hole-in-one prize sponsored by McCauley Agencies.
To take part in the fundraiser, you will need to register as an individual golfer with an entry fee of $90 or $350 for a team of four. If you just want to support the fundraiser and not play the round of golf, you can purchase a ticket and just come and enjoy the live entertainment and the chili dinner for $30. Donations directly to the fundraiser are also appreciated.
"Everything goes directly back into Inclusion,” explained Kari Ruiter, Executive Director of Inclusion Moose Jaw. “We have some overhead costs due to our building, but our main expenses are providing the kids with our day programming in the summer and our weekend programming during the school year."
Inclusion Moose Jaw is also in dire need of volunteers for this event. At least 18 volunteers are needed, though they hope for many more. A volunteer will man each hole, as there will potentially be a skill competition at each, additionally help will be needed to help facilitate the whole event with the chili dinner and live entertainment.
"By having this golf tournament and raising funds, it really helps the kids with the cost of everything," stated staff member Laurie Bender. "We take them out in the community to do arts and crafts or to go golfing or swimming. It's a really great cause."
