CAMO 3rd Annual Scramble hosts golfers for a good cause

2008-04-16 19:53:32 - ORRVILLE--The 3rd Annual CAMO Golf Scramble is Saturday, June 28, at The Pines Golf Club in Orrville.

Ruth Brown and Marcia Murphy, longtime CAMO volunteers, are organizing the event.
'Marcia and I love to golf and have been in lots of golf outings,' said Ruth. 'It's just easy to do, and it's a cause we already buy into.'
Last year's golf outing raised $7,750 after expenses for the neonatal unit in the Santa Rosa hospital. Seven infant ventilators and supplies were purchased and save one newborn every two days.
Since 1993, CAMO has renovated the Hospital de Occidente, public health and community buildings and continually expanded to now offer 17 healthcare programs in Santa Rosa de Copan. CAMO, a humanitarian aid organization based in Orrville, OH, cares for more than 143,000 medical needs with an average of $2 million in donated medical supplies, equipment and expertise annually. CAMO, a 501(c) 3 non-profit, multiplies every $1 donated into $4.
Fees are $75 ($27 tax deductible), per golfer, $300 ($83 tax deductible) per team, $100 ($100 tax deductible) per hole sponsorship and $375 ($183 tax deductible) per foursome with hole sponsorship. Hole sponsorship is one way to participate for those unable to attend. Registration includes: 18 holes + cart, continental breakfast, range balls, door prizes, raffles and lunch.
Hole-in-one contests are $300 for first prize and $200 for second prize. Proximity prizes awarded for longest drive, closest to the pin, and longest putt in men's and women's divisions.
Registration starts at 7:15 AM. Shotgun starts at 8 AM. Contact CAMO to participate: (330) 683-5956. To learn more about the caring work of CAMO, visit: www.CAMO.org
