The 3rd Annual “Par-Tee Scramble” Golf Outing Drives Fun and Funds June 23
Provided by We Love Birthday Parties
TROY - Plans are in full swing for the third annual Par-Tee Scramble golf benefit for We Love Birthday Parties, Monday, June 23, 11 a.m., at Troy Country Club, 1830 Peters Rd., Troy. This year’s event promises to provide fun for competitive and novice golfers with games and contests on the course that make for a memorable day for everyone.
Golfers could win big on par 3 hole-in-one contests including a vehicle (to be announced closer to the event) from Arbogast or a $10,000 cash prize, according to Shelly Calvert, director of We Love Birthday Parties and event coordinator. Additionally, surprises abound at other holes, like “whack a piñata” to win a gift card to restaurants and golf shops.
“After last year’s Par-Tee Scramble we heard the same thing from all the foursomes: “This is the most fun golf outing I’ve ever been to,” Calvert added. “Because we are an organization that knows how to celebrate, we’ve created a unique experience that serves two purposes: a relaxed day of joy and fun for the golfers and a way to raise funds for our mission.”
Sponsorship opportunities and golfer registration is now open and can be accessed at welovebirthdayparties.square.site. The cost for each player is $125 and includes pre-game snacks, golf cart, 18 holes, two drink tickets, free golf towel, and dinner buffet with a short awards ceremony.
“We keep things moving on the course, but we make it our goal to delight the golfers while they’re out there,” Calvert added. “It’s good, clean fun with a purpose for those who love to golf and for those who want to help us make a difference in the lives of children.”
Check-in begins at 11 a.m. with light snacks and purchase of mulligans, raffle tickets and a golf-themed silent auction. The fun begins with a shotgun start promptly at 12 noon. Dinner buffet and awards begins at 5 p.m. Rain date for the event is the following Monday.
First, second and last place winners get prizes, as well as winners for longest drive, longest putt and closest to the pin.
The mission of We Love Birthday Parties is to make sure kids experiencing poverty, homelessness, foster care or court issues get celebrated during their birthday month. The organization let’s the kids and teens know they are valued, loved, not forgotten, and that they have a purpose on this earth and the world needs them. The organization packs up everything needed for a birthday party and takes their special message and lots of fun TO THE KIDS each month at community centers and after school programs in Miami and Montgomery counties.
In addition, We Love Birthday Parties makes “birthday boxes” to support foster families. These birthday boxes can be requested by case workers, CASA volunteers, foster care agencies, teachers, law enforcement agents and therapists…anyone working with children in crisis. Birthday boxes contain everything needed to create a memorable birthday celebration.
