Lady’s Island Country Club members, staff and volunteers are getting ready for Christmas. But it isn’t about themselves — it’s the 10th annual Toys for Tots Scramble golf event that benefits the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
Over the years, the event has raised thousands of dollars, collected acres of toys and brightened hundreds of Christmases.
Registration begins at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 10. The shotgun start is at noon and dinner and awards are at 5 p.m. It’s a four-member Captain’s choice format, so everyone can contribute to the round.
Even if you’re not a golfer, please join them for dinner.
Cost for golf is $45 per person, plus an unwrapped toy. (It’s $35 for members.) Dinner alone is $15 plus an unwrapped toy. Hole sponsorships are available, too.
Thanks to residents, members and local businesses, this event is one of the largest fundraisers for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
