The 25th annual Mayor’s Golf Challenge wrapped up this past June, and on Monday, most of the proceeds from this year’s tournament were handed over to local Special Olympians.
This year, $26,680 was raised through ticket sales and raffle tickets, with $18,676 of that going to Special Olympics.
“Thank you so much for this ongoing support,” said Mark Bryan, chair of Special Olympics. “The Mayor’s Golf Challenge has been the lifeblood of our organization for more than 25 years now.”
“We are so appreciative of the support,” he said.
The rest of the funds will be moved into the Community Recreation and Culture Grants program to be doled out at a later time.
The tournament was held on June 13 at Blue Mountain Golf & Country Club and attracted 144 golfers.
