CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – The Franklin County Commissioners, along with the Franklin County Office of Veterans Affairs, are pleased to announce plans for the sixth annual Franklin County Veterans Affairs Golf Tournament, set for Sept. 2 at Penn National Golf Club in Fayetteville.
Registration for the tournament will begin at 7 a.m. with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Lunch and an awards presentation will conclude the day.
Golfers will have their choice of playing their preferred course, based on availability. The tournament will feature two winning teams – one from Founders and one from Iron Forge. Each member of those winning teams will receive a voucher for a five-day, four-night cruise for two. Additional prizes will be awarded for the tournament’s top male and female performers.
Registration is $400 per foursome, which includes greens fees, carts, a light breakfast, lunch, on-course refreshments, a door prize ticket and an appreciation gift for each golfer. The tournament will also include in-game contests, raffles, networking opportunities and more.
All proceeds from the golf tournament benefit the Franklin County Veterans Affairs Outreach Fund, which supports a variety of programs, including Operation Save-a-Vet Save-a-Pet, Operation Rucks to Reins and the annual We Salute You Scholarship.
“We really appreciate everyone who has supported this tournament in the past and hope everyone comes out again this year for the best tournament yet,” said Franklin County Commissioner Chairman Dave Keller. “The proceeds from this tournament help us do great things for our veterans, which is just another way for us to thank them again for their service to our great country.”
