The sixth annual American Legion Post 470 and Epsilon Sigma Alpha-Eta Pi Charity Golf Outing will be held Sept. 21 to benefit the children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The event will be held at River Glen Country Club, 12010 Clubhouse Dr., with a dinner to follow at the American Legion Post 470, 9091 E. 126th St.

“We always do the golf outing to benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude in Memphis is one of the national philanthropies that we do events for, volunteer for and raise money for,” said Wendy Hahn, member of Epsilon Sigma Alpha. “One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to them.”

Through the last five years combined ESA has raised more than $50,000. The goal is to raise more than $15,000 this year. The cost to participate is $125 per golfer or $500 per group of four. Golfers will play 18 holes and participate in contests along the way.

“There are a few contests. There is a hole in one contest where you have a chance to win a car. Ed Martin Nissan puts that on. There is a putting contest, as well. You have a chance to win a gift card,” Hahn said.

Golfers will be treated to a boxed lunch during the event and a dinner with silent auction afterward.

“We usually have local businesses that donate items. We will have some St. Jude logo items to auction off,” Hahn said. “A lot of restaurants around town have given us gift cards which we’ll probably put into baskets. We have a few salon items.”

The event typically draws approximately 100 golfers. Registration begins at 10 a.m. with a shotgun start at 11 a.m. Golfers will be accepted until Sept. 7.
