Golfers scramble to help Altrusa

Enjoying a day of golf also generates community rewards on Saturday, July 27, when Altrusa International of Yaquina Bay hosts its fifth annual scramble at Crestview Golf Club in Waldport.

The event is a fundraiser for Altrusa, which is dedicated to improving the lives of women and children in Lincoln County. From addressing emergency needs of local K-12 students, to improving literacy, and pitching in to help those experiencing homelessness, the members of this local non-profit organization find fun, creative ways to raise money for these important needs.

Fun is the name of the game at this two-person, nine-hole scramble, both on and off the course. Raffles, games, and lunch are all part of the day’s events. Altrusans have a reputation for putting together fantastic prizes and this event is no exception, as winners both on and off the course will find out.

A $60 fee covers entry into the tournament, greens fee and lunch ($20 fee for lunch only). A portion of the proceeds go to Altrusa, as does all monies garnered via event and hole sponsorships.

The event is sponsored by Crestview Golf Club, Dahl Disposal Service, Espresso 101, Oceana Natural Food Co-Op, Oregon State Credit Union, Edward Jones, Newport Gentle Dentistry, McKay’s Market, NW Natural Gas, Oregon Coast Bank (Waldport), Thompson’s Sanitary, and US Bank.

Registration is now open and can be arranged by phoning Crestview at (541)563-3020 or in person at the course. Carts are limited to the first 48 registrants (24 two-person teams).
