Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament Drives Record Support for Boys & Girls Club
CHELAN — The Lake Chelan Valley Boys & Girls Club’s second annual UW/WSU Celebrity Golf Tournament raised a record amount of support for youth programs during an event held June 25 at Bear Mountain Ranch Golf Course.
The tournament brought together former University of Washington and Washington State University athletes, community members, local businesses and volunteers for a four-person scramble competition benefiting the Boys & Girls Club.
Proceeds from the event will provide scholarships for children and families who otherwise could not afford Boys & Girls Club memberships, summer camps, after-school programs, youth sports, transportation and enrichment opportunities.
“This tournament demonstrates what can happen when a community comes together for a common purpose,” said Angela Collins, unit director of the Lake Chelan Valley Boys & Girls Club. “Whether participants wore purple or crimson didn’t matter. Everyone was here to invest in the future of our local kids.”
