5th Annual Ashlee Kraft Memorial Golf Tournament

 

GolfPlease join us as we raise funds for youth mission trips on Monday, October 3rd at the Savannah Golf Club. Lunch begins at noon with a shotgun start at 1:00PM. The golf tournament helps to offset expenses that are not covered by trip registration fees for our youth mission trips. By supporting the golf tournament as a player, hole or cart sponsor, you will help send a youth into the mission field. Can you think of a better place for them (or us) to be?

Thank you in advance for supporting this program that empowers "struggling families to move forward to self reliance."
