The Cashiers Cares Golf Tournament – set for September 16 at Trillium Links Club – is an investment in the health of the community’s non-profits.
The 3rd Annual Cashiers Cares Golf Tournament is fast approaching!
The event will be hosted by Trillium Links Club with the proceeds going to 10 local charities serving our community. Each year has seen interest grow in this Fun-raising day of play.
The date is Monday, September 16, with shotgun start at 10:30 A.M. The cost is $200/player with cart lunch, award ceremony, prizes, raffles and party to end the day. There is a limit of 96 players to ensure speedy play. All levels of players are invited and singles will be matched to make foursomes.
Golf chairwomen Jan Newton, Jo Anne Darby, and Cathy Peacock have worked to find great prizes and raffles. High Hampton has donated a foursome of golf valued at $1,500 that will be part of the raffle. Food and Drink will add to the festivities for the golfers.
Cashiers Cares donated over $100,000 to community non-profits in 2023 with the support of Trillium Families and the Trillium golf Tournament. The charities – Awake, the Literary Council of Cashiers NC, Cashiers Valley Pre-School, Hampton Pre-School, Community Care Clinic, Fishes and Loaves, Four Seasons, Pisgah Legal Services, Safe and United Christian Ministries – provide much needed services for the underserved and vulnerable living and working in the Cashiers area. Their support extends from assistance for young children to end-of-life situations.
Those donating will be able to choose, as always, where their funds go – so, for example, if someone wants to donate everything to Fishes and Loaves, they will have the opportunity to do so. The funds are usually distributed in February of each year.
Cashiers Cares is all volunteers. It helps the safety net – food is really important, healthcare is really important, pre-school is really important, because if people can’t work, then there’s nobody to work in the stores. Pre-schools are important for the Cashiers economy if you want people to work on your home, on your yard, etc. but people don’t always think that way.
Information on the 10 charities and Cashiers Cares can be found at cashierscares.org. Golf registration and/or donations can be made through the website or by contacting me at [email protected] or calling (828) 743-7158.
