Charity Golf Tournament Was a Success
More than $16,000 was raised for the American Heart Association during the Fifth Annual Okaloosa County Golf Tournament on April 7 in Crestview.
The tournament, sponsored by Okaloosa County Public Works employees and the Pacemakers Senior Golf Association, took place at Foxwood Country Club and featured more than 80 golfers.
The annual tournament continues to grow each year in both the number of golfers and dollars contributed to the Heart Association. This year’s contribution exceeded last year’s total of $11,000 and event organizers plan for even bigger results at next year’s Sixth Annual Okaloosa County Golf Tournament.
"This was our best year yet, and we are so pleased to be able to contribute all of our proceeds to the American Heart Association. We are fortunate and thankful to have so many county staff volunteers work the event and to have such a supportive Board of Commissioners,” said tournament co-organizer Cindy Halsey.
