SI Ladies Member Golf Tournament Raises Funds for Habitat for Humanity

unnamed-20Seabrook Island Ladies Member Guest Tournament

The Seabrook Island Ladies Golf Association donated just over $2700 to Sea Island Habitat for Humanity last week. In the aftermath of the EF-2 tornado on September 25 and the record flooding that followed just a week later the Seabrook Island Ladies Golf Association turned their Member Guest Golf Tournament into a fundraiser for the people of Johns Island. The 104 women who participated in the SILGA sold out event on October 15 &16 contributed both on and off the golf course. The money raised was split evenly between buying a shot hit by Randy Murray, Assistant PGA Professional, on a tricky Par 3 hole, and tickets sold for the raffle. Raffle Prizes were generously donated by The Seabrook Island Club and local businesses. The money donated will go to the Sea Island Habitat Repair Care Fund, established to repair and modify owner-occupied homes in need of critical repair. The goal of the Repair Care program is for low-income homeowners on the Sea Islands to be able to live in a safe and healthy environment.  Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is the third oldest Habitat in the country. This independent, nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry partners with people of all beliefs. Sea Island Habitat for Humanity has served its community as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International since 1978 and has provided housing solutions for over 320 local families. For more information, visit http://www.seaislandhabitat.org or call 843-768-0998.
