Do you have your whites all ready for croquet season? You’ll need them for the second annual Cashiers Valley Croquet Championship Tuesday, June 21, at 9:00 AM. This exciting event is being held to raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cashiers, NC and is being hosted by Country Club of Sapphire Valley and Cedar Creek Racquet Club.
The Big Brothers Big Sisters program in Cashiers is the newest BBBS branch office to open in western North Carolina and is responsible for raising 100% of their annual budget, a budget that provides kids with opportunities for enrichment. In September 2012, an in-school Mentoring Program at Blue Ridge School and an after-school Program at Summit Charter School began helping children in need in Cashiers. The BBBS program provides children with opportunities for enrichment and growth such as attending sporting events, theater performances, art classes and overnight summer camps offering a life changing affect on the children in the program.
Organizers of the event, Pam Kerr and Nancy Albers, hope the Cashiers Valley Croquet Championship will attract even more players than its inaugural match in 2015 and invite both novice and veteran players to participate in this wonderful event. Cost is $100 per person and includes lunch. Sponsorships are still available at three different levels and registration is open through June 14. For more information and to register contact Pam Kerr at (828)743-7158 or by email at [email protected] and Nancy Albers at (828)743-3284 [email protected]. Should you want to send a contribution, checks are payable to BBBS of Cashiers a 501 (c)(3) tax deductible charity and may be mailed to PO Box 696, Cashiers, NC 28717. If you’re interested in becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister contact Rachel Dyer, Cashiers Program Coordinator, [email protected]. See you out on the lawn!
