The game is a modified scramble with a 9 a.m. shotgun start for 18 holes of play and an 11a.m. start time for those wishing to play nine holes. Men and women may sign up as a team of four or sign up individually and the pro shop will make up teams. Mixed teams of men and women are welcome.

Funds minus expenses go to the Olympic Medical Center Foundation to enable local women to receive mammograms when they do not have insurance or the means to pay for a mammogram. An anonymous Sunland donor will match funds raised $1 for every $3 up to last year’s total of $4,650, and $1 for every $1 raised over that amount.

Additional fund raising avenues include: a putting contest; raffles for gift baskets. Make checks to OMC (Olympic Medical Center) Foundation.
