Each year, the Kiwanis Club of Colonial Capital runs fundraising projects used to fund high school scholarships, make grants to deserving local organizations, sponsor youth basketball tournaments, award a cash prize to KCCC's Teenager of the Year, and provide gifts, books, and food baskets to children and families during the holidays. The largest fundraiser is KCCC's Annual Golf Tournament. Local businesses, Club members, friends, and family members join for a round of golf followed by food, drink, and prizes. On September 14th, for the third year in a row, the KCCC Golf Tournament was held at the Kingsmill River Course in Williamsburg. Eighty golfers participated in the putting competition, 18-hole golf tournament, and barbecue buffet. The weather was excellent. All participants had a good time.
The Golf Committee led by Bill Lutz reported the tournament raised more than $25,000 after expenses.
The Club thanks the Golf Committee who put on an excellent tournament. The Club also thanks our tournament sponsors, the volunteers who staffed registration, managed the event, and ran the raffle, and the tournament's golfers who by participating in the event are supporting children in the Greater Williamsburg area.
The Club plans to hold the event next year at the same venue. Details will be posted on the website in the spring.
Hit 'em long!
