Participants enjoy a captain’s choice format, complete with carts, practice balls, lunch, drinks, and plenty of fun along the way. In last year’s 2025 tournament, proceeds from the tournament directly supported local organizations such as 5:18 Family Services, United Way of Central Virginia, the Red Cross, the CV Foundation for Economic Education and Improvement, and Camp Kum-Ba-Yah—ensuring that every swing helps strengthen our community.
