The PebbleCreek Irish American Club is hosting its 13th annual charity golf tournament on Saturday, March 12, and Sunday, March 13, at the Tuscany Falls East and West courses at PebbleCreek.
The event begins with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 12, for the nine-hole tournament. The $100 cost includes golf, registration/donation, cart and lunch.
The following day, the shotgun start is at 8 a.m. for the 18-hole tourney. The $115 cost includes golf, registration/donation, cart and lunch.
The fee goes toward several of the PebbleCreek Irish American Club’s efforts, including scholarships for Millennium High School students. Last spring, the club’s charitable contributions committee interviewed Millennium students and awarded $8,000 in scholarships to six of them.
That same committee researched Goodyear-area nonprofits and chose to support Meals of Joy and Mission of Mercy.
Founded in 2014, Meals of Joy addresses the need of seniors in the Goodyear area who may be unable to prepare meals due to poor health or the inability to drive. Meals of Joy volunteers deliver fresh, ready-to-eat meals five days a week to those in need.
Mission of Mercy restores dignity by “healing through love.” Mission of Mercy-Arizona offers medical treatment and prescription services to uninsured and underinsured residents at no cost. Nearly 200 physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other medical personnel donate their time.
Each charity received $8,000. The Irish Cultural Center in Phoenix was also granted $1,000.
“We hope this year’s tournament will equal or surpass last year’s level of donation/participation dollars so the club can continue to support worthy student scholars and community nonprofit organizations in Goodyear,” said Rick Savage, tournament chair.
“Our goal is to have over 272 golfers participate in either the nine-hole or 18-hole event.”
Register at the PebbleCreek Tuscany Falls Golf Shop at 16262 Clubhouse Drive, Goodyear, between 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Forms can also be obtained by contacting Savage at rick.savage@yahoo.com or 925-285-8485; or Nancy Shaw, co-tournament chair, at nancyshaw@sbcglobal.net or 707-322-2344.
