Sign up now for diabetes charity golf tournament

Spots are still available for the CoxHealth Auxiliary’s D-Day Fore Diabetes charity golf tournament. The registration deadline is May 31.

The tournament will be held Monday, June 6, beginning at 8 a.m., at Millwood Country Club, 3700 East Millwood Drive, in Ozark.

Proceeds from the two-person scramble, shotgun-start event will benefit the CoxHealth Diabetes Center. The center offers diabetes education, support groups, weight loss classes and more to people in the Ozarks living with this disease.

The $90 per person registration fee includes green fees, cart and a meal. Prizes will be paid to the top three finishing teams, with first place payout at $500, second place at $300 and third place at $200. Prize payout is based on 20 teams per flight. Call 269-4169 for more information or to sign up.

Each year, the Missouri Association of Hospital Auxiliaries commits to a cause selected by the organization’s president. The current president has selected diabetes as the cause hospital auxiliaries around the state will work to support.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available. All donors will be recognized. For more information about sponsorship opportunities or to register for the tournament, call the CoxHealth Volunteer Services office at 269-4169.
