Balsam Mountain Preserve Charity Tournament

We are very excited to announce that Balsam Mountain Preserve will be hosting and conducting the 1st Annual Balsam Mountain Preserve Charity Tournament this August! Every year Balsam Mountain Preserve is inundated with requests
for all types of donations to various organizations and charities. Surprisingly, a very small number of these requests come from organizations in our own Jackson County.
The date of the Balsam Mountain Preserve Charity Golf Tournament has been set for Tuesday, August 18th. The purpose of holding this event is two-fold: 1) It provides Balsam an opportunity to raise funds for charities that impact families in the local community and 2) It provides local golfers an opportunity to play and experience Balsam for one day. Our goal is to raise between $10,000-$13,000 to assist the following charities: 1. The Community Table which provides meals for Jackson County residents
who are homeless, indigent or otherwise would not have access to a warm meal, 2. Save The Warmth/Jackson Neighbors in Need which provides fuel oil, assistance with food, water bills and other needs to Jackson County residents in 3. The Hawthorne House which provides a safe haven for troubled youths in western North Carolina; 4. The Jackson County Library; this is a one time donation to help in the construction of a new local library. The tournament field is open to all golfers, men and women, with a limited field of 22 four-person teams. The format will be Captain’s choice and entry fee per player will be $175.
There are numerous opportunities to get engaged including sponsorships, donation of prizes or silent auction items, participation through playing and volunteering. We encourage anyone interested in getting involved in the event contact the Pro Shop at 828-631-1009. We look forward to this great event and the impact it will make in the local community!
