Golf Participant Registration	Mixed Tournament

The 26th Annual Benefit Golf Tournament for Anne Carlsen Center for Children (ACCC) will be held Saturday, June 7 at Jamestown Country Club. The Mixed Scramble offers a fun day on the course, as well as awards and dinner. Tournament highlights include a $30,000 hole-in-one contest and a $25,000 putting contest.

ACCC is founded on the belief that all people should experience life to its fullest. Those with the highest degrees of physical, cognitive and/or communication impairments face limited camping opportunities. Funds raised from this year’s tournament will help teenagers with special needs make lasting memories and friendships at summer camp. During ACCC Week at Elks Camp Grassick near Dawson, N.D., teens with a wide array of disabilities enjoy functional learning activities paired with traditional camp favorites like hayrides, bonfires and talent shows.

The Anne Carlsen Center for Children Benefit Golf Tournament was the first of its kind in North Dakota when it began in 1982. It has raised more than $340,000 to support programs and services.

Registration for the June 7th tournament is at 8 a.m., with the shotgun start at 9 a.m. Play is limited to the first 132 paid entries. Registration deadline is June 1. The fee is $85 per person.

The ACCC Ladies Day Golf Tournament will be held at Jamestown Country Club on Thursday, June 5. Registration is at noon with the shotgun start at 1 p.m. Registration deadline is June 1. The fee is $35 per person.
