The Carter family want to thank the community for their amazing support of the first Birdies Fore Scholarships event, held October 8 at The Social Birdy in Branson. The event raised nearly $4,600 for the Carter Family Hero Scholarship Fund, whose goal is to help offset the financial burden of higher education for children of area first responders.
“We’re so grateful for the support from our participants, donors of silent auction items, our board, our family and friends, and our sponsors,” said Darin and Julie Carter in a social media post following the event. Participants and sponsors were also grateful to be blessed with a beautiful fall day for golf and fellowship. Sponsors included the following area businesses, nonprofits and individuals:

In Memory of Glen Amundsen
Country Mart

At the end of the competition, Joe Allen and My Branson Attorney won first place, after a tied score with Branson Police Department team playing for In memory of Glen Amundsen; Joe won the resulting putt-off by one stroke. Closest to the Pin challenge was won by the Taney County Sheriff’s Office team.
