Golf tournament raises $12,000 to help fight cancer

On October 19, the First Annual Golf tournament benefiting the American Cancer Society (ACS) Relay for Life (RFL) of Branson was held at Holiday Hills Golf Club. The event was a collaboration between the RFL of Branson, Holiday Inn Club Vacations and Holiday Hills Golf Club. 

 

The tournament had several individual hole challenges, including playing against a ranked six-year-old, trying to get the ball within a chalk circle, teeing off using a child’s driver, using a dice to determine your hole score, and playing against a pro LPGA golfer. The fun was followed with an excellent lunch and a large silent auction.  

 

Thanks to all of the area business and Individuals who donated items for the auction, and to Riki Lynn Real Estate who hosted a Hole in One for $10,000. Sad to say, no one won but someone did come extremely close!

 

Relay for Life planning committee, Lisa Wilfong and Terri Williams also thank all of the sponsors who helped make this initial event such a success, raising over $12,000 to benefit the ACS. This success was possible with the help of the incredible staff at Holiday Inn Club Vacations and Holiday Hills Golf Club, as well as volunteers with Relay for Life. They deserve a big THANK YOU for all their hard work.  

 

Additional sponsors included Four Rivers Financial, Skaggs Foundation, Rundell Photography and Graphic Design, Sign Gypsies Table Rock Lake, Grade A Roofing, North American Property Maintenance, Steve Faria, Shepherd of the Hills, Brad Allen, Cross Creek, Edward Jones- Rob Jones, Tri-Lakes Motors, Ryan’s Lawn and Tree Care, Holiday Hills Leadership, Reliable RV, Andy’s Plumbing, Compassus Hospice and Coffee Creations.  

 

Please mark your calendar now to Save the Date for the Second Annual Relay for Life Charity Golf Tournament, scheduled for October 18, 2025. There will be golf in the morning, and then a Relay for Life event in the evening. Those interested in getting involved for the 2025 event, please contact Lisa Wilfong at Lfong52@hotmail.com.
