‘Tee It Up’ for CHARACTER COUNTS! April 29

The eighth annual CHARACTER COUNTS! “Tee it up for Character” charity golf tournament is only weeks away and foursomes are filling up fast.

The four-person scramble golf tournament, the sole fundraiser for United Way of Martin County’s CHARACTER COUNTS! program, begins with a 1 p.m. shotgun start on April 29 at Monarch Country Club, 1801 S.W. Monarch Club Drive in Palm City.

Entry fee is $150 per golfer and includes a dinner buffet, goodie bags and awards. Each player will also receive a complimentary round of golf at Monarch Country Club and an Enjoyment Book.

“For 14 years CHARACTER COUNTS! has provided character-building activities in our schools and throughout our community, encouraging good sportsmanship, good character and increasing public awareness of the importance of core ethical values,” CHARACTER COUNTS! director Holly Laiben said.

“This charity golf tournament is the sole fundraiser for CHARACTER COUNTS! and helps ensure these activities continue.”

Golfers will also have an opportunity to win this year’s hole-in-one prize, a 2010 Buick LaCrosse courtesy of Carl’s Buick, Pontiac and GMC, as well as a resort getaway sponsored by Monarch Country Club.

The dinner buffet and awards ceremony following the tournament will feature a live auction for such prizes as golf outings at McArthur Golf Club, Loblolly, The Medalist, Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club and much more.

The eighth annual CHARACTER COUNTS! “Tee it up for Character” charity golf tournament is sponsored by Publix Super Markets Charities, Monarch Country Club, Carl’s Buick, Pontiac and GMC, The Enjoyment Book, Ampersand Graphics, The Palm Beach Post, Hometown News, Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers and Elliot Paul & Company.
