MERIDIAN, Miss. (Queen City Newsfeed) – The Meridian Police Benevolent Association is preparing to hit the links for a cause as it plans its 32nd annual golf tournament this fall.
The association’s four-person scramble is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 9, at Lakeview Golf Course in Meridian. Proceeds from the tournament will help support the organization’s Christmas With a Cop program, which provides Christmas assistance to underprivileged children.
The tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 9 a.m.
Registration is $45 per person or $180 for a four-person team. The entry fee includes green fees, a golf cart, food, beverages and prizes.
Prizes will be awarded to the first-, second- and third-place teams. Golfers will also have opportunities to compete in men’s and women’s longest drive contests and closest-to-the-pin contests on two holes.
The Meridian Police Benevolent Association is also seeking businesses to support the fundraiser through whole-hole sponsorships. Organizers say the sponsorships provide businesses with an opportunity to promote themselves while supporting local law enforcement officers, their families and the Christmas With a Cop program.
The annual event combines competition with fundraising as the association works to support its community and help provide Christmas gifts to local children.
Individuals interested in registering for the tournament or learning more about sponsorship opportunities can contact Brian McCary at 601-527-6155.
