This year’s annual Bill Verity Cup, benefitting the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Northern Beaufort County will take place Monday May 8 at Sanctuary Golf Club on Cat Island in Beaufort, SC. 

This is the ninth year that the charity golf tournament will be hosted by the organization to raise funds to help cover program costs and provide scholarships for Beaufort area children and young adults wanting to participate in summer programs.  

“The Beaufort area Clubs are currently serving over 230 youths per day at four locations in Northern Beaufort County,” said Chris Protz, of Boy &amp; Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry. “Of these youth, 71% are eligible for free or reduced lunch and nearly 45% live in single-parent households. Scholarships allow the organization to help young people who need us the most or who would not otherwise be able to afford the opportunity to attend a summer camp.”

South State Bank, Sanctuary Golf Club and CBC National Bank headline this year’s event and the PGA Tour Superstore of Bluffton, SC will provide each golfer with a swag bag valued at $30 including gift cards and free practice-center sessions at their new location. The newly opened Superstore is also hosting a Hole-In-One Contest at the event for a chance to win a $1000 shopping spree at the store. 

Supporters and golfers are still needed for this year’s competition. The charity tournament begins at 11:30 AM with registration, practice and lunch followed by a shot gun start at 1 PM then an awards reception at 5 PM. Participant donations are $150 per golfer or $600 per team of four. Participant donations include access to the practice range, lunch, complimentary beverages, greens fee, golf cart, gifts, reception and awards. For more information or to register for golf contact Anne Littlejohn 843-379-5430 or Alittlejohn@bgclowcountry.org

Scholarships give camp participants access to a full day summer program while school is out including breakfast, daily hot lunch and snack, recreational and educational activities and select field trips.
