Golf tournament kicks off to benefit local charity

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Dozens of area golfers are taking advantage of the hot and humid weather to give a boost to a local charity.

This is the 28th annual ‘Window World’ outing to benefit both the Ursuline Sisters Mission in the Valley and the Beatitude House.

It’s the fourth year in a row that the event has been held at the Lake Club. More than 140 golfers signed up for the sell-out event.

“We work with people with AIDS; we work with homeless people; we work with people who are trying to go to school for the first time, with immigrants. We have a lot of programs that we to fund, so this really makes a big impact on our programs,” said Teresa Boyce, a spokesperson for the Ursuline Sisters Mission.

So far, more than $100,000 has been raised this year to support the various ministries that the Mission oversees.
