Golfers head to Red Hawk links Aug. 8 for the 8th annual Jim Booker Memorial

The District #300 Educational Foundation will be holding its 8th annual Jim Booker Memorial Golf Scramble fundraiser at the Red Hawk Country Club on Friday, Aug. 8, 2014.

During the 2013 event over $10,000 was raised for the Foundation's scholarship and classroom grant programs. Prizes this year for the four-person scramble event will include gift certificates for closest-to-pin for men and women and for longest drive for men and women. Hole-in-one opportunities include chances to drive a new vehicle free for two years (courtesy of Vogler Ford).

Last year 18 teams participated in the event with 34 regional and local businesses providing their support for this worthwhile fundraiser. The scramble begins with registration at 8:30 a.m. followed by a 9 a.m. event start.

In addition, lunch will be provided for each golfer with refreshments provided by Pepsi MidAmerica throughout the day.

In addition several donated gifts and prizes will be given to each participant. If you are interested in participating in this event you may call the District #300 Central Office at 542-3856. The District #300 Educational Foundation continues to express its sincere appreciation to those individuals and businesses that support this successful event to benefit the students in District #300 by "Investing in Our Future."
