The Vance Charter School Athletic Booster Club has room for a few more teams at the 5th golf tournament, scheduled for Thursday, Apr. 2 at Henderson Country Club.
Get that team registration in by the Friday, Mar. 6 deadline to ensure a spot in the tournament, which has a 12 noon shotgun start. The tournament will cap entries to 22 four-person teams.
Don’t know a birdie from a bogey or a wood from a wedge? No worries – you can still come out to the post-tournament gathering that begins about 6 p.m. Tickets to that event are just $25. Come out for food, fellowship, a cash bar and live music from Whiskey Bent, a Granville County band.
VCS Athletic Director Lance Stallings said the school works to provide its student-athletes, and students as a whole, with the best experience possible. “It’s not possible without the booster club and the athletic department,” Stallings said. “We’re very fortunate to have the best of the best at Vance Charter School.”
The golf tournament is one of the booster club’s major fundraisers each year, and Booster Club President Caroline Overby said the activities surrounding the tournament will include again this year a silent auction. Tournament winners will be announced at the evening event as well.
The golf tournament has several presenting sponsors – Drake & Seymour Dentistry, Sossamon Funeral Home and Chick-fil-A – but there are other sponsorship levels to choose from, too:
- Blue level – $700 – includes entry fees and all the things during and following play
- Silver level – $1,250 – builds on Blue level, plus a Mulligan package and signage on two holes
- Gold level – builds on Silver level, plus signage on 3 holes and the scoreboard, as well as four polo-style shirts
The golf tournament is designed to be a fun event, but organizers are keeping their sights on the real reason for the tournament – raising money that will provide meals, additional equipment and uniforms for the school’s athletic program.
Proceeds also go to fund scholarships, awarded to two seniors to help with their post-graduation plans.
Citing the school’s non-profit status, Overby said, “every single penny goes back straight back to the kids.”
