Every day, our first responders are working hard to ensure the safety and well-being of people in our communities. Assistance League of Atlanta is thanking those who give so much to us by giving police officers, firefighters and wounded warriors a day on the links during their second annual DRIVING “FORE”WARD Golf Tournament on Monday, May 6th.
Foursomes of first
responders from Chamblee, Dunwoody, Gwinnett County, Peachtree Corners and
John’s Creek will be among the field of players participating in the fund
raising event for Assistance League of Atlanta, to be held at Bear’s Best in
Suwanee which features a premier golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus.
Donations and sponsorships from supporters and donors covered the cost for
nearly 40 individuals to play golf as a way to thank them for their service.
The festivities
will start at 8:00 a.m. to allow time for hitting range balls and warming up. Official
shotgun start time will be 9:30 a.m. There will be a breakfast snack and a full
BBQ lunch served, along with raffle prizes, fifty-fifty drawing and a silent
auction after the tournament. Prizes will be given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
teams, closest to the pin, longest drive and long putt contest.
