NKCRC 3RD ANNUAL GOLF TOURNEY MARCH 14 AT HAPUNA
Fundraiser Helps Foster Dozens of Community-Driven Projects
Hawi, HI – The North Kohala Community Resource Center (NKCRC) will hold its Third Annual Golf Tournament at Hapuna Golf Course at Mauna Kea Resort on Saturday, March 14, 2020. Players, sponsors, and donors are sought.
The tournament raises funds to help the non-profit NKCRC provide its support to as many as 90 active projects and programs in the rural North Kohala community it serves. Since the Center’s founding nearly 17 years ago, more than 185 community improvement projects have been sponsored. Projects supported are as diverse as the community and include or have included the Kawaihae Canoe Club, an after-school basketball program, swim team equipment, support of a 4-H group for travel funds and equipment, work with the County for funds to maintain and preserve open space, and, among the Center’s newer projects, i-Pods for the Elderly assisting elders with dementia and Alzheimers with music therapy.
“We created a Resource Center where individuals can receive the training, coaching and access to funding to ensure their project’s success,” said NKCRC executive director Christine Richardson. “We have created a model that works; projects enjoy a success rate of 92-percent and more than $14 million fundraising dollars has been channeled to support these projects since 2002.”
NKCRC’s golf tournament is a two-person scramble with a 7:30a.m. shotgun start. The day is highlighted by camaraderie, food, fun, and prizes including a grand prize golf foursome generously donated by the exclusive Nanea Golf Course. A hole-in-one will be sponsored by De Luz Chevrolet. Entry fee of $160 per player includes cart, green fees, welcome coffee and pastries, buffet lunch generously sponsored by Mauna Kea Resort and prepared by The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort culinary team, a small silent auction and prizes.
