The Wellsboro Chamber of Commerce is hosting a “different” fundraiser this September at the Tyoga Golf Course in Wellsboro. The executive director, Julie Henry, described how the fundraiser will work.
“We’ll take golf balls and drop them from a helicopter over the 18th hole, and the ball closest to the pin wins $5,000 second closest is $1,000, third closest is $500. And if you’re the farthest away, you get 250.” Said Henry.
She had the idea while attending another conference and decided to test it out in her own backyard. The golf balls will be sold for $100 each as part of the fundraiser. The proceeds will be donated to the Wellsboro Foundation, a 501-C3 non-profit organization.
There will be more to the event than helicopters and golf balls. “There’s other events that afternoon there will be live music outside on the patio. There will be putting contest is a family friendly event we invite everybody to come out bring your kids and enjoy the afternoon” adds Henry.
The fundraiser will take place on Saturday, September 10th. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Wellsboro Chamber of Commerce or in person at the Tyoga Golf Course until 5 p.m. on the day of the event.
