Twenty teams will tee off at the Allen County Country Club at 9 a.m. in a four-person flighted scramble for the program’s benefit. CASA receives 62% of its finances via fundraising endeavors. The tournament is hosted by District Court Judges David Rogers and Dan Creitz.

This Saturday’s event will be the 17th annual tournament. Area residents and businesses have embraced the event, and it continues to grow—to the point where it now is bursting at the seams.

This year’s platinum sponsors include Community National Bank & Trust, Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, the Porter family, and Hofer & Hofer & Associates.

Gold sponsors are B&W Trailer Hitches, Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center, Nelson Quarries, Ash Grove Cement, Manbeck Law Offices, Twin Motors Ford and the Wyoming Daniels clan of Rawlins, Wyoming.

Silver sponsors are Karen Lee, Jay Hatfield Auto, Young’s Welding, State Farm Jennifer Dietsh and Bolling’s Meatery and Eatery and Moran Locker. The bronze level sponsors are Peerless Products and O’Shaughnessy Liquor. Over 50 additional sponsors have collaborated to support CASA.

The course is in great shape following some good rain, and country club manager L.C. Lacy and crew will flight and score the tournament. To enhance play, mulligans will be sold, and players can spin for a hole in one. There will be cash prizes for the longest putt, longest drive and closest to the pin. Raffles, drawings and door prizes will also be included.

CASA is a volunteer organization and recognized charity by the IRS. For more information or to learn more about becoming a volunteer, please call 620-365-1448 or email [email protected].
