Blackjack Charity Golf Tournament Set

The 2010 Grand Lake Casino Blackjack Charity Golf & Card Tournament is set for October 3,2010. . Since 2005, Grand Lake Casino and Patricia Island Golf Club, with the help of their machine vendors, have hosted tournaments which have raised funds for the Grove area charities in the amount of $85,516.48. Charities that have received funds from our tournaments are Grand Lake Family YMCA, Turkey Ford School, Delaware County Children Special Advocacy Network, CASA, The Playmakers and the Grove D.A.R.E. program.

This year GEFFE (Grove Educational Foundation for Excellence) has been added to the list of charities. The foundation accepts applications from Grove educators for unfunded items for the classrooms and awards them based on the need. Computerized “Smartboards” for the classrooms are just one example of how the proceeds from the tournaments are used. Again this year, our tournaments will benefit the Turkey Ford School System, a very small school that has very limited funding. The Turkey Ford School System is committed to educating native American student as well as others in the area. The Y.M.C.A is targeted annually as a recipient of funds from the tournament due to the programs they provide for the areas children.

The golf tournament will be hosted by Patricia Island Golf Club and will be a four-man scramble event. Entry fee is $125.00 per player, with a minimum age of 21. Range balls, soft drinks and water will be available on the course and lunch will be provided. The tournament will get underway promptly at 10:00am with a shotgun start.

The Blackjack Card Tournament will be hosted by Grand Lake Casino and get underway approximately one hour after the conclusion of golf play. Deadline for registration for this Grand event is September 24^th. For additional information, contact Patricia Island Golf Club or Grand Lake Casino.
