Golf Tournament 2025 - Teams/Sponsors/Prizes/Volunteers on 02/22/2025
Eureka No. 283 Grand Lodge Of North Carolina, A.F. & A.M. |
| Mark your calendar for April 14, 2025 - Rolling Hills Golf Club, Salisbury, NC - Registration opens 11:00am, eat at Noon and shotgun start at 1:00pm It is time again for the 28th Annual Eureka Lodge #283 Masonic Golf Tournament. We are doing some new things this year including an online website for registration and donations, the event schedule and agenda and descriptions (pictures too) of event contests and prizes. As expected, we need assistance to get door prizes donated, teams registered to play, volunteers to help manage the event, and hole sponsors. Registration to play, sponsor or cash donation can be made at www.eureka283golf.com Payment is accepted online by card, checks and cash are available options (Select Pay by Invoice) |
| Our annual golf event is designated to support youth activities, primarily in south Rowan County, but inclusive of special requests of the Masonic Home for Children (as we did last year with a donation for new furniture for the kids bedrooms) With guidance from the Grand Lodge, that we can no longer distribute monies raised in Special Activities approved by the Grand Lodge directly for Scholarships, our lodge has created a Lodge Charity Account within the NC Masonic Foundation that is directly managed by our lodge. From this account we can distribute scholarships as well as funds for charity as we see fit - related to our stated purpose for the special event fundraising activities. |
| Our goals this year are to field 18 full teams of players, provide trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams along with prizes, and provide prizes for special contests (Putting, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive (Men and Women respectively, and $10,000.00 Hole-in-One) All prizes, swag gifts, website and food expenses are being donated so all proceeds will go to the Lodge Charity Account to support Youth Activities. Contact Rob Thornton (704-223-0327) if you have items to donate for door prizes. Respectively Eureka Lodge Golf Charity Committee |
