Registration is open for the 21st Annual Junior Golf Classic slated for Monday, July 8, 2013 at The Ohio State University Golf Club – Gray Course. The event is organized by the Women’s Board of Nationwide Children’s Hospital with proceeds benefitting the hospital.
“Well kids helping sick kids” has been the motto for this annual junior golf event since its inception. The tournament provides an opportunity for youth ages 9-18 to play the game they love and give back to their community by helping raise funds for the areas of greatest need at Nationwide Children’s.
Entries are open to male and female golfers who will not have reached their 19th birthday by July 8, 2013. The field will be limited to the first 140 junior golfers. An entry fee and advance registration is required and can be obtained at nationwidechildrens.org/juniorgolf.
The “Tag-A-Bag” program is back this year. This campaign provides each junior golfer with a personalized bag tag which is donated by a contributor to the program. The contributor is recognized in the event program and the donation is tax deductible. To become a contributor, visit nationwidechildrens.org/juniorgolf.
Last year, the Junior Golf Classic welcomed a field of 136 golfers and raised more than $14,000 for Nationwide Children’s. The event is free to the public as spectators.
