The Great Futures Golf Tournament raised more than $25,000 in late August for programs at the Boys & Girls Club of Waynesboro, Staunton and Augusta County.

“The overwhelming support at the Great Futures Golf Tournament is a testament to the compassion and determination of our community. The funds raised will play a pivotal role in advancing our programs that empower and nurture the potential of local youth,” CEO Debra Freeman-Belle said.

Tournament winners were:

First Place Team: Frog Rea, Jacob Allen, Ray Wade & Scott Engleman

Second Place Team: Joel Taylor, Chris Wheeler, Tommy Nance & Chad Cauliff

Third Place Team: Michelle Buchanan, Jeremy Chandler, Mike Sorrells & Chris Alderman

Fourth Place Team: Robert Baldwin, Darold Crawford, Jeremy Price & Derek Shifflett

“Being part of the Great Futures Golf Tournament is not just about a round of golf, it’s about creating a brighter future for the children in our community and setting them on the path toward success,” local realtor and avid golfer Ryan Burks, who participated in the tournament, said.
