Henderson-Vance Crime Stoppers to Hold 9th Annual Golf Tournament

/by

James Baines, president of Henderson-Vance Crime Stoppers, was on Monday’s edition of WIZS’ Town Talk program to discuss the organizations upcoming 9th annual golf tournament.

This year’s tournament will be held at Kerr Lake Country Club on Thursday, April 25, 2019. Crime Stoppers is currently accepting registration forms (see below) for golf team members and hole sponsors.

Teams will consist of a group of four members for $200 ($50 per person); hole sponsorships are available for $100.

Hole sponsors receive a sign promoting their organization on the golf course in addition to tournament and media recognition.

Participants will be eligible for 18 holes of golf, golf cart access, lunch, door prize opportunities, drinks (non-alcoholic only) and snacks.

Mulligans are optional and are available for purchase at the event. An additional prize will be given away at the (optional) putting contest.

According to Baines, Superior Chrysler of Henderson will once again offer a new vehicle for a hole in one made on a specific hole.

All funds raised by the tournament will be used as “tip money” for those who report information to Crime Stoppers that leads to the arrest or conviction of a perpetrator. Reward payouts can be as high as $2,000; callers can remain anonymous.

“Spring is about to erupt and people are looking to get out on the golf course,” said Baines. “We appreciate the community’s support and we look forward to seeing you on April 25.”

Kerr Lake Country Club Set to “Crush Cancer”

/by

Donald Sanford, president of Kerr Lake Country Club (KLCC), was recently on air to discuss the club’s Relay for Life team, aptly named the Kerr Lake Cancer Crushers.

The “Crushers” will hold a prime rib dinner and reverse raffle at KLCC at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 2, 2018. The dinner will be catered by Gavin Jackson with Gavin’s Grub Hub. Tickets are $150 a piece and buy dinner for two with open bar and a chance to win several prizes, including a cash giveaway of $5,000.

“We are trying to have enough prizes donated by area merchants that we can give away a prize every tenth ticket,” Sanford said.

This event is open to the public and tickets may be purchased at KLCC or by calling (252) 492-1895.

“We hope you’ll join us for dinner under the stars and by the pool, weather permitting,” said Sanford.

This year’s Relay for Life event will be held, for the first time, in downtown Henderson on Saturday, June 23, 2018, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Specifically, the event will be held in the square between the H. Leslie Perry Memorial Library and the Henderson Police Department.

The opening ceremony will begin promptly at 11 a.m. Cancer survivors will walk the first lap shortly after the opening ceremony concludes at approximately 11:30 a.m. with the caregiver’s recognition to follow.

In another departure from past years, the 2018 Relay for Life will not be an overnight event.

A new registration process will also be used for this year’s Relay event. Survivors, caregivers and walkers may register for Relay for Life online at www.RelayForLife.org/VanceNC or by calling 1-800-227-2345 and choosing option number two from the menu.

According to Sanford, Relay for Life Chairwoman Christy Bennett was instrumental in the push to move the event from its previous location at Southern Vance High School to the downtown area.

“It was her goal to make the event more accessible to residents and is also a good change of pace and has breathed new life into Relay,” Sanford explained.

The theme for this year’s Relay is the yellow brick road from “The Wizard of Oz.” Yellow bricks may be purchased in memory or honor of a loved one. June’s event will feature all of the bricks laid out to form a “yellow brick road” of those who have fought cancer.

Sanford stated that the goal for this year is to raise $100,000 for cancer research – $25,000 higher than last year’s goal.

“The funds that are being raised through Relay for Life will be used for research to try to cure this deadly disease,” said Sanford. “There are strides being made every day. Without the money Relay raises, such strides would not be possible.”

Other upcoming Relay fundraisers include:

  • Angels Among Us will host an auction on Saturday, May 19 at Eaton Johnson Middle School on Beckford Dr. Preview begins at 5 p.m.; auction begins at 6 p.m.
  • A plant sale will be held in the Tractor Supply parking lot, Dabney Dr., on Saturday, June 9 starting at 9 a.m. Proceeds benefit Relay for Life.
  • M.R. Williams, Raleigh Rd, will be hosting a quarter auction on Saturday, June 9 at the Church of the Holy Innocents on Chestnut St. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. with the quarter auction to follow at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 to get in the door and everyone is asked to bring at least two rolls of quarters to participate in the auction. Tickets may be purchased by calling Charlene Sanford at (252) 438-1153.
  • North Henderson Baptist Church, Garnett St., will hold a pig-pickin’ on Saturday, June 16. Time is to be determined.
