27th annual SAR charity golf tournament on tap

SANDPOINT — The Selkirk Association of Realtors will hold its annual charity golf tournament benefiting the grants and scholarships program on June 23 at 10 a.m. at Stone Ridge Golf Course

The tournament is a scramble format with four-person teams. One lucky golfer could win $10,000 for a hole-in-one shot or sink a 50 foot putt for a chance to win $1,000. There are also prizes for closest to the pin, longest putt, and first and last place teams.

Each person’s or team’s entry fee includes greens fees, cart and lunch. There will also be wonderful raffle prizes available to those who wish to purchase raffle tickets. The golf tournament is the Association’s major fundraiser in support of its Grants and Scholarships programs.

The Selkirk Association of Realtors (SAR) is a non-profit organization whose membership comprises Realtors, Realtor Appraisers, and other businesses affiliated with and supporting the real estate profession. Grant funds are raised through the Association’s fundraisers, including the annual golf tournament.

Each year SAR gives thousands of dollars to local groups in need of funding for their community projects and programs in Bonner and Boundary Counties, and to graduating seniors and continuing college students. In the last five years, Realtors locally gave more than $30,000 to students and nonprofits, including community service groups in Bonner and Boundary Counties such as Bags of Love, Northside School, Sandpoint Senior Center, Sandpoint Teen Center, Community Cancer Services, Bonner Community Food Bank, Marine Corp League, Sandpoint Area Seniors’ Daybreak Program, Bonner Community Hospice, Bonner County Homeless Task Force, Panhandle Special Needs, Clark Fork Food Bank, Priest River Senior Center, Kinderhaven, VFW, Bonners Ferry Habitat for Humanity and KRFY Radio just to name a few.

All of the proceeds go directly into the Grants and Scholarships Fund.
